Danny Lipton Trio Aka Rapid Rhythm (1935)

No titles. Comedian Ronald Frankau introduces Danny Lipton and two girls. He says he taught Danny Lipton all he knows and takes off his hat and jacket before doing a clumsy ’shave and a haircut, two bob’ step. Panting, Frankau puts on his hat and takes his jacket, then walks off (probably from a later compilation). Cut to various shots of the Danny Lipton Trio (Danny and two girls) doing a very fast tap dance. The girls (a blonde and a brunette) wear shiny dresses with black hats and gauntlets and Danny wears a flouncy satin shirt and black trousers. The music stops and Danny does a bit on his own, then the girls do their own bit. Back to the music for another burst of fast tap dancing, then the music slows and Danny leaps over a skipping rope turned by the two girls, landing on his knees - ouch! Music is ’Round Regent Street’ by Flanagan and Nichols. Cataloguer’s note: one of these lovely ladies (think it is the brunette) is Betty Clarkson. Duplicate exists in Turns Can 8 - see separa
