Eric Woodburn (1934)

Titles read: NOW Pathe Pictorial has pleasure in presenting ERIC WOODBURN the popular Character Baritone, from the Windmill Theatre, London, in Pathe Studio, London. On a set dressed to look like part of the deck of a ship we see baritone Eric Woodburn in grubby vest and trousers. He holds a shovel and sings Coaling a sombre song about being a stoker working in the boiler or coal room of a ship. Towards the end of the song he goes into a bit of patter about being in the boiler room when the ship got hit (this is during fighting against the Indians). His friend Bill was killed trying to save him. FILM A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
