Thank you so much for this excellent transfer. Have you done any other titles of the excerpts series (& "Trial" complete)? If only we;d had complete films of the D'Oyly Carte. The acting, singing, sets and acting are first rate. I don't know if the transition between items is too abrupt. There were two narrations: Douglas Firbanks Junior, and Thomas Round.

Ooh, this is quite a find. I have never heard Valerie Masterson as Elsie. Quite a good cast.
Wow, this is the best Jack Point I've seen.
For years he was John Reed's understudy at D'Oyly Carte. He can be heard as Major Murgatroyd to Reed's Bunthorne on the Patience recording.
@@kennethwayne6857 oh wow, I didn't know that. It's not surprising though, since John Reed is one of the best.
Thank you!
Phoebe is finally spinning!
Is there a full broadcast? Donald Adams and Thomas Round are two of my favorites.
