Forsythe, Seamon Farrell (1934)
Titles read: Now Pathetone has pleasure in presenting The Famous Comedy Team Forsythe, Seamon Farrell of Variety renown. London (probably Pathe studio). We first see a man singing a rather slow and stodgy song. He is interrupted by a large woman, wheeling a piano onto the stage. She says she wants some hot music and starts singing Nobody s Sweetheart Now, while the man seems to accompany her on the piano (sounds more like a full jazz band playing). The woman does some crazy dancing to the music. A blonde woman runs onto the stage and asks the man if the other woman is Mae West. The man says No, it s Tuckbone Annie The girl starts singing a song, Every Little Bit of Me Loves Every Little Bit of You in a squeaky Brooklyn accent, accompanied by the large woman on piano. The man joins in, then the girl goes into a twirling dance. I m not sure which is Forsythe, which is Seamon and which is Farrell in this act. Duplicate exists in Turns Can 9 see separate record for details.
