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." 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.

Great to see this - I have watched this film a number of times - one of the great singers of her time - up there with Sam Browne, Bing Crosby, and even Al Bowlly - also she has such charm

Lovely voice and also a gifted performer. More than a radio and recording artist - did she have any stage and revue background?

@anthonyfrew1571 10 месяцев назад

She worked in variety

Looks like this was shot inside the Mayfair Hotel,along with some of Ambrose's musicians

@phaasch 10 лет назад

Max Goldberg on trumpet and Bert Barnes on piano? If it wasn't the Mayfair, it was quite an impressive set, though they struggled with sound on the stairs and balcony. Would an outfit like Pathe have had boom mikes in 1933?

Is that who they are? I wondered. I heard Elsie first about 30 years ago when hearing recorded Noel Coward music from his stage shows, I had heard her often after that on disc.

@@petertaylor3600 The Mayfair stage is regocnisable by that distinctive staircase...When Ambrose returned to the Mayfair in later 30s he was very upset as he was reduced to playing in the basement grille area of the hotel..He was also upset because the public were allowed access to the grille rather than just the social elite (source..kicking the gong around book.)

I suspect the musicians are from Bert Ambrose's band, with which Elsie often sang. Their residency since 1927 at the May Fair Hotel coincided with her rise to fame on records and Ambrose's breakout from high-society favorite to national renown on the BBC's late night relays from West End hotels. The film came out in autumn 1933 but was probably shot just before Bert refused to lower his fees and was replaced by Harry Roy. In July '33 Bert took his boys back to the Embassy Club, the future King Edward VIII's haunt. He did not return to the May Fair until 1936.

'Radio Parade' was an attempt to crash the American market by British International, cramming more than 20 popular BBC names into a near-plotless revue. Among them were comedians Jeanne de Casalis, Mabel Constanduros, Leonard Henry, Flotsam & Jetsam and Florence Desmond, who impersonated Hollywood stars such as Janet Gaynor and Tallulah Bankhead. Elsie Carlisle was a mike singer, preferring records and radio to live stage singing. She lacked strong pipes and substituted a female equivalent of crooning: she would bend notes and act out lyrics, as seen here. She never crossed the pond (unlike Desmond) and was largely out of the business before she was 50, becoming an entrepreneur. But in the 1930s she was one of Britain's biggest names, despite being 'mature'- born 1896. In 1929 Gainsborough had planned an early talkie for her with Ivor Novello but AFAIK it did not happen.
