A CONCORD THEATRICALS TITLE
Full-Length Musical, Comedy / 4w, 8m
Vivian Ellis, Desmond Carter, Conrad Carter, Marriott Edgar, Edward Horan
A classic musical romantic comedy
Opening at 'The Double Six' a road house owned by Colonel Crawford, we meet Jack Crawford, the Colonel's blundering son who has fallen out with Jill Sonning, an actress. Meanwhile, Election fever is in the air at 'Bunting Hall' the seat of Sir Timothy Bunting, a man who advocates temperance and whose aim is to close down 'The Double Six'.
At a party at Bunting Hall in aid of temperance, the Hungarian artiste Sari Tamara turns out to be Jill who has adopted this persona in pursuit of stardom. Over the course of the evening she is reconciled with Jack, who has come to the party in disguise, however Jack's resemblance to his cousin Pendleton Brooks causes some confusion and complications and eventually his arrest by the Police!
