Lou Abelardo (1929-1931)

Lou Abelardo - singer and banjo player. Pathe Studio, London. On a set dressed with the usual potted palms, we see Lou Abelardo, a slim man with a moustache wearing white tie and tails, playing the banjo. The song is a plaintive little tune, called ’S’posing’. It’s about “S’posing I should fall in love with you, do you think that you could love me too? S’posing I would hold you and caress you, would it impress you, or distress you?“ Note: item is slightly out of synch throughout due to early sound recording. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
