  • "Here's a little fellow who proves the theory that Chimney Sweepers are born and not made - he works for his Daddy!"
    Three year old boy walks along behind his father who is carrying a brush. The little boy carries a small step ladder. M/S of the two walking the opposite way down the same road - away from the camera. L/S of the boy and father emerging from a skylight onto a rooftop. M/S of the boy lowering a rope down the chimney - his father pulls on another rope.
    "Did young Bill have a busy day? Just look him over!" M/S and C/U of the kid looking filthy! He smiles at the camera.

      I hope it’ll comfort you to know that these 2 are actors, starring in a series of promotional films and magazines highlighting the strange Victorian labor practices. This film was made in the 1933, laws against child-labor have been place since 1880’s, you wouldn’t expect an illegal activity would be casually filmed and shown on a British Variety Show Film series.

By 1930s it was illegal in Germany to have a child younger than 14 work on chimney jobs.***

    Fun fact: The child in this film was NOT a chimney sweeper.
    The film "The Three Year-Old!" was made in Berlin somewhere between 1929-1930, depicting a child joining his Dad for a day of work cleaning chimneys along with a matching set of tiny tools 😂. They're also using outdated tools for cleaning chimneys, by the 1930's they already a method to clean chimneys without having to go onto the roof.
    Germany was also the first to make child labor laws, not the best ones but laws restricting child labor nonetheless. The UK followed soon after in 1843, prohibiting children under the age of 14 to work as chimney sweepers. German then revisited the law in 1903, making it illegal for children under the ages of 10-13 to do it aswell. But all countries frowned upon using very young children for such gruesome jobs, well before the laws were made so it wasn't common.
    In summary, this was just made to be a funny film. Dressing up children as chimney sweepers was also seen a charm of good luck in the 1900s. The toddler was not working in the chimneys 👍🏻. Yet......😈

But keep in mind, the practice of using children as chimney sweepers was officially abolished in September of 1875 after a 12 year old kid named George Brewster died while cleaning a chimney after he got stuck. He was the last child to die doing it. So this child may not have been a chimney sweeper at all as this is a silent film from 1933 but it still saddens me to the core and makes me very emotional.

    That in Germany. From 0:24 you can read "luxus Geschirr" in the top left as in English "luxury crockery". Then it is 1933. A Germany that has almost died of poverty and is shaped by it. You used to take your kids with you to work. It's no different in other countries. Then you should ask yourself why the text overlays are in English instead of German when the recordings are from Germany.

    Many people here might not know that this is, in fact, fake.

So hold on to your fragile sense of work ethic 😂 these two were actors hired for the film.

    Is this even 1933?
    In the early 1830s, as Parliament became more preoccupied generally with the exploitation of child labour, the Chimney Sweeps Act was passed in 1834 outlawing the apprenticing of any child below the age of ten. Furthermore, no child was to be actually engaged in cleaning chimneys under the age of 14.
