Jock Walker (1929)

No titles. Comedian Jock Walker. Probably filmed at the Pathe Studio, London. On a set dressed to look like the interior of an inn, Scottish comedian Jock Walker, dressed in traditional Scots garb of kilt and tam o shanter, tells jokes to two men sitting at table and having a beer. The first joke is about a Scottish man who comes down to London to go to the Wembley Exhibition. He meets an Englishman who he stays with for a week. At the end of the week the Englishman says I don t suppose a couple of quid would hurt you and the Scotsman replies Help me It would be a Godsend . Another joke is about an Englishman saving the life of a Scottish boy who was drowning. The boy s father asks what the man did with the boy s hat. The last joke: a Salvation Army girl asks a Scottish man to spare a penny for the Lord. The man says he s 70, so he ll probably see the Lord before her and will give him the penny himself. Cataloguer s note: Jock finds all his jokes extremely funny (more than I do).
