Good L/Ss of Wilson and Keppel dancing Egyptian style wearing skimpy tunics. L/S's and M/Ss of the Hazel Mangean Girls performing on stage. One of the women walks onto the stage on her hands.

The finale sees numerous men dressed in smart suits, top-hats and tails and face masks tap dancing.

This was what...1933.... I believe Wilson Keppel and a Betty (they had quite a few) were still doing their sand dance on tv in the late 50s even early 60s.
