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.

Phoebe is finally spinning!

Thank you!

Wow, this is the best Jack Point I've seen.

[@kennethwayne6857]

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.

Is there a full broadcast? Donald Adams and Thomas Round are two of my favorites.
