Fortunately in the 1930s Pathescope issued a number of abridged versions of British Lion films for the 9.5mm home movie market.If they had not then this film would have been lost like many of British Lion's pre war films.Although this film is truncated down to 52 minutes and a number of acts and artists are not in this version,what we do get to see is the marvellous orchestra of Bert Ambrose.It was generally acknowledged that he was the number one bandleader in this country.He concludes the film with a fantastic version of "Limehouse Blues".There isn't any real story to this film it has probably been eliminated.Just a succession of variety artists plus Ambrose.Of note is a short view of the immortal Wilson Betty and Keppel.
