Gus McNaughton
Gus McNaughton (29 July 1881 – 18 November 1969), also known as Augustus Le Clerq and Augustus Howard, was an English film actor. He appeared in 70 films between 1930 and 1947. He was born in London and died in Castor, Cambridgeshire. He is sometimes credited as Gus MacNaughton. He appeared on stage from 1899, as a juvenile comedian with the Fred Karno company, the influential British music hall troupe. In films, McNaughton was often cast as the "fast-talking sidekick", and he appeared in several popular George Formby comedies of the 1930s and 1940s. He also appeared twice for director Alfred Hitchcock in both Murder! (1930) and The 39 Steps (1935).

The MC of the club announces that they are having an all English evening. Miss Florence Desmond is introduced - she is an impersonator. Her act is to give the audience an idea of a party given in Hollywood by Janet Gaynor. She announces that some of the people attending will be: Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Tallulah Bankhead and Gracie Fields. Moving camera spins around the club. She does her impersonations including the aforementioned plus Basil Pitt and Jimmy Durante. She then sings a song in the style of Gracie Fields - all about American food and how she prefers Hot Pot and Tripe. Funny. ii) 01:18:38 Claude ...

Reel 5.
i) The boss seen in the turn above tells the woman to start the car up. She asks if her bonnet is on straight. The boss takes it off for her (the car bonnet that is!) She can't remember how to start the car. She talks about the fact that her dog may have started the car for her then asks why they don't push the car as "it's by far the quickest way of getting her about." Boss looks under the bonnet. Joke revolving around whether the car has been overhauled lately - she misunderstands and thinks he is talking about the friend she is due to meet and says: "Oh yes, she's been laid up for three weeks." The boss suggests that her big end is gone, "Good heavens, how can you tell without seeing her?" asks the woman. Reginald Gardner (or Gardiner) runs out saying: "Step on it, they're open!" and the two men run off to the pub. The woman "steps on it" the car reverses and there is another explosion under the bonnet.
ii) 01:01:20 Notice across two closed doors reads: "Stanelli & Edgar". Doors open. In a lovely art deco set Stanelli plays the piano. Edgar comes down the stairs and a bit of banter ensues. "We will now try and play these ghastly looking things for you" says Stanelli and they proceed to play violins. Stanelli splits his bow so that the strings go over the top and the wooden part underneath the body of the violin. Stanelli starts some comedy singing in the middle of the song but Edgar nudges him with an elbow and he stops. Stanelli makes a joke about his partner being a fish. He then plays his violin as if it is a ukulele. Edgar accompanies him. Quite a funny little turn! Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton attempt to play violins. Stanelli and Edgar joke about boy scouts and girl guides. Stanelli hits Edgar over the head with a flower. They then do an imitation of an "Aberdonian Saxophone" - bagpipes presumably. They play a Scottish reel.
iii) 01:04:38 Radio announcer introduces the Houston Sisters (Billie and Renee Houston). From his patter it seems that they usually play the bagpipes - or are Scottish at least. For this turn one of the sisters sings and the other plays the ukulele. Camera pans up from a C/U of their feet and legs to reveal them sitting on the sofa, one dressed as a man, the other very cute in a short skirt showing off her legs. The sister dressed as a man speaks in a very low voice. They discuss what they need to do to please the public. There may be some veiled jokes about homosexuality and lesbianism in this routine. For example when the mannish sister says that she is going to become a ventriloquist, the girlie sister says: "You're not one of those are you?" to which the other replies: "What do you mean?" The manly sister calls the other "Darling" The feminine sister accuses the other of being "full of affectation lately...fiddling with your tie" etc. The girlie sister suggests that she be the ventriloquist's dummy so she pulls up her skirts and sits on her sister's lap. She sings a song as if a ventriloquists doll. Pretty funny! The ventriloquist sister pulls the others skirt down to make her look more respectable. They do a little dance together, holding each other by the hands and around the waist. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton take notes on the act, particularly on the joke about religion where ventriloquism was confused with Presbyterianism. They get the jokes a bit wrong.
iv) 01:09:30 Leonard Henry is the next act. We see him in the bath, he is singing a song and cleaning various bits of his anatomy. He speaks into the shower nozzle as if it is a telephone: "Hello, is that the police station, all right I'll come clean." He takes a jar of bath salts off the shelf and starts eating them. Then he tucks into a loofah. He sings a song about Epsom salts - joke revolving around the fact he has eaten the bath salts. More gags and funny business. He puts on a very odd dressing gown with a large bow at the top. He stands by the sink and looks into a distorting mirror. He has a shave.

His colleague has to explain that he wants fish and chips. Man behind the counter says: "We don't sell fish" to which the reply is: "I don't want shellfish." They settle for rissoles and cups of tea. They discuss how they are going to pay for the food. All they have is a spoon and a ladle. The rissole is so rock hard that it breaks the plate when it is dropped down. The super posh toff continues to talk nonsense to his friend and he doesn't see that another man has come up to the counter and is eating his rissole as he keeps waving it around in the air as he speaks. He tells a conundrum. The man who has eaten most of his rissole suddenly stares at the man behind the counter which provokes the other two to stare too. The thief then takes a big slurp of the toff's cup of tea. He starts to tell a saucy riddle but then sees "Frankenstein" - a scowling man, standing at the counter. He tries to tell a joke but gets very confused. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton emerge from a rubbish bin. One of them is covered in muck.

Suddenly a woman (comedienne Jeanne de Casalis, aka Mrs Feather - SL) driver smashes into one of the petrol pumps there is an explosion. The boss looks angry and says: "Mrs Feather, that's a nice way to come into a petrol station." It is a new car, she had to tickle its various parts to get it going. She wears very large furry gloves and driving goggles. The mechanics rip various parts off the car. She is the archetypical dizzy woman driver and they are the archetypal rip-off mechanics. She powders her nose using one of the wing mirrors they have ripped off the car.

Reel 3. Compilation of various turns.
i) Two middle aged female comediennes do a routine - it is Gert and Daisy. They are gossiping about someone's new wife as they look at a market stall of vegetables. "Is she that fat girl I've seen him with?" says one. "Fat? Well she had mumps for three weeks before anybody noticed it." replies the other. They buy their vegetables and walk off. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton are hiding in a box of vegetables, they stand up - they've got bunches of bananas on their heads and cabbages in their ears. They are taking notes on what the women are saying. They stand by a fabric stall and continue their banter. Daisy asks if they can get a drink somewhere. Gert replies that she might be able to get them some water and Daisy replies: "Water? I said thirsty not dirty!"
ii) 01:32:01 Radio announcer introduces Flotsam and Jetsam - famous for being big supporters of Empire. C/U of record playing, then of the front of a radio. One of them sits at a piano and sings a song about the radio and how wonderful it is. Big Ben is mentioned, calling to "us poor devils miles away." At the end of his song he says: "London Stations are now closing down, goodnight everybody, goodnight". Cut to the other half of the act who is sitting outside a primitive wooden house. He turns his radio off and begins to sing a song about Big Ben. We hear it striking in the background. The words: "Goodnight old London Town" are accompanied by shots of the famous clock and the Embankment at night. He is presumably living away from London and reminiscing thanks to the radio. The first man sits playing the piano - he is wearing some sort of veterans uniform with medals attached. He is playing a melancholy song. The other man walks in and says: "Hey, wake up, they are turning out the guard." The pianist then begins playing a march. The second man sings a song about the Changing of the Guards. Various shots of the ceremony are spliced into the middle of the song. Flotsam and Jetsam are obviously very patriotic and love London and Big Ben!
iii) 01:38:21 Two comedians - the one on the left is Stainless Stephen - dressed as railway guards chat about how the Arsenal football team is going to be on one of their trains and Sheffield Wednesday on the other. Stainless Stephen is left on his own and gives a soliloquy. Jokes abound about stingy passengers who never give tips. As he does his routine he is passed various packages to stack in the train. Other jokes include untouchables in India, bosses, hunts, tattoos, Kings Cross station etc. Routine ends when a box thrown by another member of staff hits him in the face. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton emerge from some milk cans with the tops of the cans balanced on their heads! Wardour Films Limited.
Note: a very funny turn from Stainless Stephen! - SL.

"Is she that fat girl I've seen him with?" says one. "Fat? Well she had mumps for three weeks before anybody noticed it." replies the other. They buy their vegetables and walk off. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton are hiding in a box of vegetables, they stand up - they've got bunches of bananas on their heads and cabbages in their ears. They are taking notes on what the women are saying. They stand by a fabric stall and continue their banter. Daisy asks if they can get a drink somewhere. Gert replies that she might be able to get them some water and Daisy replies: "Water? I said thirsty not dirty!"
ii) 01:32:01 Radio announcer introduces Flotsam and Jetsam - famous for being big supporters of Empire. C/U of record playing, then of the front of a radio. One of them sits at a piano and sings a song about the radio and how wonderful it is. Big Ben is mentioned, calling to "us poor devils miles away." At the end of his song he says: "London Stations are now closing down, goodnight everybody, goodnight". Cut to the other half of the act who is sitting outside a primitive wooden house. He turns his radio off and begins to sing a song about Big Ben. We hear it striking in the background. The words: "Goodnight old London Town" are accompanied by shots of the famous clock and the Embankment at night. He is presumably living away from London and reminiscing thanks to the radio. The first man sits playing the piano - he is wearing some sort of veterans uniform with medals attached. He is playing a melancholy song. The other man walks in and says: "Hey, wake up, they are turning out the guard." The pianist then begins playing a march. The second man sings a song about the Changing of the Guards. Various shots of the ceremony are spliced into the middle of the song. Flotsam and Jetsam are obviously very patriotic and love London and Big Ben!
iii) 01:38:21 Two comedians - the one on the left is Stainless Stephen - dressed as railway guards chat about how the Arsenal football team is going to be on one of their trains and Sheffield Wednesday on the other. Stainless Stephen is left on his own and gives a soliloquy. Jokes abound about stingy passengers who never give tips. As he does his routine he is passed various packages to stack in the train. Other jokes include untouchables in India, bosses, hunts, tattoos, Kings Cross station etc. Routine ends when a box thrown by another member of staff hits him in the face. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton emerge from some milk cans with the tops of the cans balanced on their heads! Wardour Films Limited.
Note: a very funny turn from Stainless Stephen! - SL.

St. Martin's Lane, also known as Sidewalks Of London After Dark, and Partners of the Night, is a 1938 British comedy drama starring Charles Laughton as a busker or street entertainer who teams up with a talented pickpocket, played by Vivian Leigh. The film co-stars Rex Harrison and Tyrone Guthrie in a rare acting appearance. It was produced by Mayflower Pictures Corporation.
SYNOPSIS
Pickpocket Libby gets support from street performer Charles, and her dancing leads to her invitation to theater patron Harley's party which in turn launches Libby's stage career while Charles keeps on struggling in the streets.
Charles Staggers is a London street performer, or busker, with his partners, Arthur Smith and Gentry.
He protects Liberty, known as Libby, a runaway and pickpocket, when she steals a gold cigarette case from successful song writer Harley Prentiss. He takes her into their troupe, making their trio into a quartet.
Libby attracts the attention of Prentiss and his wealthy friends, who can give her a life and career away from the streets. When she leaves, cruelly rejecting Charles's marriage proposal, he doesn't want to go on with the act anymore, and becomes an alcoholic. Libby's career, however, is a big success; she is offered a Hollywood contract.

NOTES
According to Vivien Leigh's biographer Alexander Walker, Laughton and Vivien Leigh did not get along while working together. Walker wrote that when an attempt was made to obtain Leigh's services for a film version of Cyrano de Bergerac, Laughton stated that she would have to dye her hair blonde. Leigh asked for a blonde wig, but Laughton insisted she dye her hair. The discussions fell through and Leigh felt slighted. A decade later she did dye her hair blonde playing Blanche DuBois in Tennessee Williams' play A Streetcar Named Desire, both on the stage in 1949 and in the 1951 film version.
When Leigh was approached to make Sidewalks of London, she did not want to work with Laughton and she felt no attachment to the role. Nevertheless, she was persuaded otherwise. In Alexander Walker's biography of Leigh, Larry Adler is quoted as saying that Leigh was difficult to work with. He said, "She didn't like Charles and he didn't like her. But he was much more professional. One weekend there were a few close-ups of Vivien to be done outside a theater and Charles, who invariably went down to the country with Elsa [Lanchester] at weekends, stayed up in town to 'feed' Vivien lines from behind the camera. I doubt if she'd have done as much for him. [Laurence] Olivier would show up on the set and they'd disappear into her dressing-room and it was quite a business to get her back to work." Olivier would show up on the days that Leigh was to shoot love scenes with the handsome Rex Harrison.
The film was adapted into the stage musical Busker Alley with songs by the Sherman Brothers. After several false starts with Tommy Tune as director and starring Tune and Melissa Errico, the musical had debuted at the York Theatre in New York on 13 December 2006 starring Jim Dale and Glenn Close. A CD which recreated this one-night-only performance was released by Jay Records in 2007.

From the film "Keep Your Seats, Please" (1936), starring George Formby, Florence Desmond, Alastair Sim, Gus McNaughton and Hal Gordon. Composers: George Formby, Fred E. Cliffe & Harry Gifford. Keep Your Seats, Please is a classic farcical story about a man who inherits a fortune from his late Aunt, who has sewn the money into the lining of a chair. Unfortunately the chair is part of a set of several identical ones, each of which have been acquired by different people. The race is on for George to find the right chair and get his rightful inheritance before it's too late.

Reel 6. United States of America - shots of skyscrapers at night. Interior of a nightclub. Couples dancing to jazz music. The music stops and people sit at tables. The MC of the club announces that they are having an all English evening. Miss Florence Desmond is introduced - she is an impersonator. Her act is to give the audience an idea of a party given in Hollywood by Janet Gaynor. She announces that some of the people attending will be: Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Tallulah Bankhead and Gracie Fields. Moving camera spins around the club. She does her impersonations including the aforementioned plus Basil Pitt and Jimmy Durante. She then sings a song in the style of Gracie Fields - all about American food and how she prefers Hot Pot and Tripe. Funny.
ii) 01:18:38 Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton are next up. It is their first appearance in Chicago. They keep walking on and being scared by gangster types. They run off scared and then have to come on again. They sing:" Jolly Good Company" but gangsters keep shooting at them. C/Us of the gangsters. It is Al Sharpshot's birthday party. The manager of the club explains that they are all drunk and will shoot anything. "If they like you they laugh, if they don't they shoot." They begin singing again - very nervous so shaky voices. C/U of gangster type who throws off a table cloth to reveal a machine gun. The two continue to tell poor jokes in an attempt to amuse. They consult their notebooks. They sing "Chuckle, Giggle and Laugh." and get shot at. Gangster's moll also appears.
iii) 01:22:39 Back in the Art Deco set a small jazz orchestra performs a number (I think it is Roy Fox and band playing the Harold Arlen song 'Sweet and Hot' - SL). Three of the band come forward and sing in a close harmony style. C/U of the orchestra members feet tapping leads into a montage sequence featuring all the acts we have previously seen (and a couple from a missing reel). Very modern looking jump cut sequence of the exterior of BBC Broadcasting House. Different shots of the building's facade are edited together as the "pips" are played. Our radio announcer puts away his record player.
End title reads: "British International Picture - Elstree London."
Note: reel one of the original film is currently missing.
Note; apparently this is indeed Roy Fox and the trio, including Ivor Mairants, Les Lambert and Harry Gold, are The Cubs. The Radio Announcer at the end of the clip is Christopher Stone.

i) Radio announcer stands by a turntable and speaks into a microphone as he puts the needle on a record. Miss Elsie Carlisle and her band perform a song. Elsie stands on a balcony in a black dress with white fur trim. She walks down the stairs as she sings then stands by the piano. The boys in the band wear suits and look very dapper. They ask Elsie to tell them all about being in love. She sings two songs about it. She then sings a song about an ex-boyfriend who has gone off with the girl next door. She takes off her little cape. She pretends to be sad about it and goes to look at his photograph which is standing on the table. She sings a song which may be called: "You've got me crying again."

Reel 5.
i) The boss seen in the turn above tells the woman to start the car up. She asks if her bonnet is on straight. The boss takes it off for her (the car bonnet that is!) She can't remember how to start the car. She talks about the fact that her dog may have started the car for her then asks why they don't push the car as "it's by far the quickest way of getting her about." Boss looks under the bonnet. Joke revolving around whether the car has been overhauled lately - she misunderstands and thinks he is talking about the friend she is due to meet and says: "Oh yes, she's been laid up for three weeks." The boss suggests that her big end is gone, "Good heavens, how can you tell without seeing her?" asks the woman. Reginald Gardner (or Gardiner) runs out saying: "Step on it, they're open!" and the two men run off to the pub. The woman "steps on it" the car reverses and there is another explosion under the bonnet.
ii) 01:01:20 Notice across two closed doors reads: "Stanelli & Edgar". Doors open. In a lovely art deco set Stanelli plays the piano. Edgar comes down the stairs and a bit of banter ensues. "We will now try and play these ghastly looking things for you" says Stanelli and they proceed to play violins. Stanelli splits his bow so that the strings go over the top and the wooden part underneath the body of the violin. Stanelli starts some comedy singing in the middle of the song but Edgar nudges him with an elbow and he stops. Stanelli makes a joke about his partner being a fish. He then plays his violin as if it is a ukulele. Edgar accompanies him. Quite a funny little turn! Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton attempt to play violins. Stanelli and Edgar joke about boy scouts and girl guides. Stanelli hits Edgar over the head with a flower. They then do an imitation of an "Aberdonian Saxophone" - bagpipes presumably. They play a Scottish reel.
iii) 01:04:38 Radio announcer introduces the Houston Sisters (Billie and Renee Houston). From his patter it seems that they usually play the bagpipes - or are Scottish at least. For this turn one of the sisters sings and the other plays the ukulele. Camera pans up from a C/U of their feet and legs to reveal them sitting on the sofa, one dressed as a man, the other very cute in a short skirt showing off her legs. The sister dressed as a man speaks in a very low voice. They discuss what they need to do to please the public. There may be some veiled jokes about homosexuality and lesbianism in this routine. For example when the mannish sister says that she is going to become a ventriloquist, the girlie sister says: "You're not one of those are you?" to which the other replies: "What do you mean?" The manly sister calls the other "Darling" The feminine sister accuses the other of being "full of affectation lately...fiddling with your tie" etc. The girlie sister suggests that she be the ventriloquist's dummy so she pulls up her skirts and sits on her sister's lap. She sings a song as if a ventriloquists doll. Pretty funny! The ventriloquist sister pulls the others skirt down to make her look more respectable. They do a little dance together, holding each other by the hands and around the waist. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton take notes on the act, particularly on the joke about religion where ventriloquism was confused with Presbyterianism. They get the jokes a bit wrong.
iv) 01:09:30 Leonard Henry is the next act. We see him in the bath, he is singing a song and cleaning various bits of his anatomy. He speaks into the shower nozzle as if it is a telephone: "Hello, is that the police station, all right I'll come clean." He takes a jar of bath salts off the shelf and starts eating them. Then he tucks into a loofah. He sings a song about Epsom salts - joke revolving around the fact he has eaten the bath salts. More gags and funny business. He puts on a very odd dressing gown with a large bow at the top. He stands by the sink and looks into a distorting mirror. He has a shave.

ii) 01:44:14 Set representing a railway station tea room. The man behind the counter is singing a song. Two customers - comedians Clapham and Dwyer - come in, one of whom, Clapham, is a very upper class drunkard. He wears a top hat and a large monocle. He rambles about what he'd like to eat. His colleague has to explain that he wants fish and chips. Man behind the counter says: "We don't sell fish" to which the reply is: "I don't want shellfish." They settle for rissoles and cups of tea. They discuss how they are going to pay for the food. All they have is a spoon and a ladle. The rissole is so rock hard that it breaks the plate when it is dropped down. The super posh toff continues to talk nonsense to his friend and he doesn't see that another man has come up to the counter and is eating his rissole as he keeps waving it around in the air as he speaks. He tells a conundrum. The man who has eaten most of his rissole suddenly stares at the man behind the counter which provokes the other two to stare too. The thief then takes a big slurp of the toff's cup of tea. He starts to tell a saucy riddle but then sees "Frankenstein" - a scowling man, standing at the counter. He tries to tell a joke but gets very confused. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton emerge from a rubbish bin. One of them is covered in muck.
iii) 01:48:01 Radio announcer introduces the Carlisle Cousins along with Harry Pepper and Doris Arnold. They perform a medley which includes "Shine on Harvest Moon" and "The Old Man of the Mountains.". One of the girls plays the piano, two other stand beside her, they wear pierrot style costumes with large ruffs. Harry Pepper and Doris Arnold play a piano duet. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton emerge from a doorway with a sign which reads: "Copying Office." They are discussing their need for some motor car jokes, they decide to go and listen to Reginald Gardner (or Gardener).

Reg decides to fill his petrol lighter from the petrol pump, petrol pours all over his small lighter. He makes the noises that taxis make. Suddenly a woman (comedienne Jeanne de Casalis, aka Mrs Feather - SL) driver smashes into one of the petrol pumps there is an explosion. The boss looks angry and says: "Mrs Feather, that's a nice way to come into a petrol station." It is a new car, she had to tickle its various parts to get it going. She wears very large furry gloves and driving goggles. The mechanics rip various parts off the car. She is the archetypical dizzy woman driver and they are the archetypal rip-off mechanics. She powders her nose using one of the wing mirrors they have ripped off the car.

Reel 3. Compilation of various turns.
i) Two middle aged female comediennes do a routine - it is Gert and Daisy. They are gossiping about someone's new wife as they look at a market stall of vegetables. "Is she that fat girl I've seen him with?" says one. "Fat? Well she had mumps for three weeks before anybody noticed it." replies the other. They buy their vegetables and walk off. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton are hiding in a box of vegetables, they stand up - they've got bunches of bananas on their heads and cabbages in their ears. They are taking notes on what the women are saying. They stand by a fabric stall and continue their banter. Daisy asks if they can get a drink somewhere. Gert replies that she might be able to get them some water and Daisy replies: "Water? I said thirsty not dirty!"
ii) 01:32:01 Radio announcer introduces Flotsam and Jetsam - famous for being big supporters of Empire. C/U of record playing, then of the front of a radio. One of them sits at a piano and sings a song about the radio and how wonderful it is. Big Ben is mentioned, calling to "us poor devils miles away." At the end of his song he says: "London Stations are now closing down, goodnight everybody, goodnight". Cut to the other half of the act who is sitting outside a primitive wooden house. He turns his radio off and begins to sing a song about Big Ben. We hear it striking in the background. The words: "Goodnight old London Town" are accompanied by shots of the famous clock and the Embankment at night. He is presumably living away from London and reminiscing thanks to the radio. The first man sits playing the piano - he is wearing some sort of veterans uniform with medals attached. He is playing a melancholy song. The other man walks in and says: "Hey, wake up, they are turning out the guard." The pianist then begins playing a march. The second man sings a song about the Changing of the Guards. Various shots of the ceremony are spliced into the middle of the song. Flotsam and Jetsam are obviously very patriotic and love London and Big Ben!
iii) 01:38:21 Two comedians - the one on the left is Stainless Stephen - dressed as railway guards chat about how the Arsenal football team is going to be on one of their trains and Sheffield Wednesday on the other. Stainless Stephen is left on his own and gives a soliloquy. Jokes abound about stingy passengers who never give tips. As he does his routine he is passed various packages to stack in the train. Other jokes include untouchables in India, bosses, hunts, tattoos, Kings Cross station etc. Routine ends when a box thrown by another member of staff hits him in the face. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton emerge from some milk cans with the tops of the cans balanced on their heads! Wardour Films Limited.
Note: a very funny turn from Stainless Stephen! - SL.

St. Martin's Lane, also known as Sidewalks Of London After Dark, and Partners of the Night, is a 1938 British comedy drama starring Charles Laughton as a busker or street entertainer who teams up with a talented pickpocket, played by Vivian Leigh. The film co-stars Rex Harrison and Tyrone Guthrie in a rare acting appearance. It was produced by Mayflower Pictures Corporation.
SYNOPSIS
Pickpocket Libby gets support from street performer Charles, and her dancing leads to her invitation to theater patron Harley's party which in turn launches Libby's stage career while Charles keeps on struggling in the streets.
Charles Staggers is a London street performer, or busker, with his partners, Arthur Smith and Gentry.
He protects Liberty, known as Libby, a runaway and pickpocket, when she steals a gold cigarette case from successful song writer Harley Prentiss. He takes her into their troupe, making their trio into a quartet.
Libby attracts the attention of Prentiss and his wealthy friends, who can give her a life and career away from the streets. When she leaves, cruelly rejecting Charles's marriage proposal, he doesn't want to go on with the act anymore, and becomes an alcoholic. Libby's career, however, is a big success; she is offered a Hollywood contract.

NOTES
According to Vivien Leigh's biographer Alexander Walker, Laughton and Vivien Leigh did not get along while working together. Walker wrote that when an attempt was made to obtain Leigh's services for a film version of Cyrano de Bergerac, Laughton stated that she would have to dye her hair blonde. Leigh asked for a blonde wig, but Laughton insisted she dye her hair. The discussions fell through and Leigh felt slighted. A decade later she did dye her hair blonde playing Blanche DuBois in Tennessee Williams' play A Streetcar Named Desire, both on the stage in 1949 and in the 1951 film version.
When Leigh was approached to make Sidewalks of London, she did not want to work with Laughton and she felt no attachment to the role. Nevertheless, she was persuaded otherwise. In Alexander Walker's biography of Leigh, Larry Adler is quoted as saying that Leigh was difficult to work with. He said, "She didn't like Charles and he didn't like her. But he was much more professional. One weekend there were a few close-ups of Vivien to be done outside a theater and Charles, who invariably went down to the country with Elsa [Lanchester] at weekends, stayed up in town to 'feed' Vivien lines from behind the camera. I doubt if she'd have done as much for him. [Laurence] Olivier would show up on the set and they'd disappear into her dressing-room and it was quite a business to get her back to work." Olivier would show up on the days that Leigh was to shoot love scenes with the handsome Rex Harrison.
The film was adapted into the stage musical Busker Alley with songs by the Sherman Brothers. After several false starts with Tommy Tune as director and starring Tune and Melissa Errico, the musical had debuted at the York Theatre in New York on 13 December 2006 starring Jim Dale and Glenn Close. A CD which recreated this one-night-only performance was released by Jay Records in 2007.

One of the successful run of pre-war Ealing comedies that secured George Formby's enduring popularity with the British public, Trouble Brewing sees everyone's favourite gawp turn amateur detective when he's swindled out of his racing winnings! Co-starring Googie Withers, Gus McNaughton, Martita Hunt and Ronald Shiner, it is presented here as a brand-new High Definition remaster from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Feeble George, a newspaper compositor with delusions of being a detective, wins big at the races – but when the winnings are changed from three tenners to more manageable fivers they're replaced with counterfeit notes. Suitably annoyed, George puts his sleuthing skills to the test and goes undercover!

Reel 6. United States of America - shots of skyscrapers at night. Interior of a nightclub. Couples dancing to jazz music. The music stops and people sit at tables. The MC of the club announces that they are having an all English evening. Miss Florence Desmond is introduced - she is an impersonator. Her act is to give the audience an idea of a party given in Hollywood by Janet Gaynor. She announces that some of the people attending will be: Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Tallulah Bankhead and Gracie Fields. Moving camera spins around the club. She does her impersonations including the aforementioned plus Basil Pitt and Jimmy Durante. She then sings a song in the style of Gracie Fields - all about American food and how she prefers Hot Pot and Tripe. Funny.
ii) 01:18:38 Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton are next up. It is their first appearance in Chicago. They keep walking on and being scared by gangster types. They run off scared and then have to come on again. They sing:" Jolly Good Company" but gangsters keep shooting at them. C/Us of the gangsters. It is Al Sharpshot's birthday party. The manager of the club explains that they are all drunk and will shoot anything. "If they like you they laugh, if they don't they shoot." They begin singing again - very nervous so shaky voices. C/U of gangster type who throws off a table cloth to reveal a machine gun. The two continue to tell poor jokes in an attempt to amuse. They consult their notebooks. They sing "Chuckle, Giggle and Laugh." and get shot at. Gangster's moll also appears.
iii) 01:22:39 Back in the Art Deco set a small jazz orchestra performs a number (I think it is Roy Fox and band playing the Harold Arlen song 'Sweet and Hot' - SL). Three of the band come forward and sing in a close harmony style. C/U of the orchestra members feet tapping leads into a montage sequence featuring all the acts we have previously seen (and a couple from a missing reel). Very modern looking jump cut sequence of the exterior of BBC Broadcasting House. Different shots of the building's facade are edited together as the "pips" are played. Our radio announcer puts away his record player.
End title reads: "British International Picture - Elstree London."
Note: reel one of the original film is currently missing.
Note; apparently this is indeed Roy Fox and the trio, including Ivor Mairants, Les Lambert and Harry Gold, are The Cubs. The Radio Announcer at the end of the clip is Christopher Stone.

Elsie stands on a balcony in a black dress with white fur trim. She walks down the stairs as she sings then stands by the piano. The boys in the band wear suits and look very dapper. They ask Elsie to tell them all about being in love. She sings two songs about it. She then sings a song about an ex-boyfriend who has gone off with the girl next door. She takes off her little cape. She pretends to be sad about it and goes to look at his photograph which is standing on the table. She sings a song which may be called: "You've got me crying again." She puts a black chiffon scarf over his photograph and walks back up the ornate staircase as the band play a jazzy version of "It's great to be in love" which Elsie had sung earlier.
