"To his many friends "Bunch" (as he is familiarly known) is a real bunch of characters. The day we saw him, he was trying some new make-up studies." C/U of the comedian Nelson Keys rubbing foundation onto his face, he sits in front of a table, presumably in a dressing room. He wears a dressing gown. C/U of his face and upper torso. He looks into the mirror as he makes up and puts on a wig. The wig makes him look as if he is almost bald with some white hair at the back.
"Now some shaggy eyebrows." He wipes something onto his eyebrows. Then he combs them down to make them look shaggy. He makes lots of faces at the camera. "As Apaches seem to be the fascination of the moment" said 'Bunch' "Let's evolve one." He takes his wig off, smoothes his eyebrows down, makes his eyes up. "Heavy lips and eyebrows give one the appropriate and villainous look." He paints his lips and defines his eyes. He then puts on a dark wig, a large gypsy style earring and a beret. "And there you are!" He pulls a disdainful look. He takes off the wig, earring and beret. "And now for a cup of tea!" M/S of Bunch sitting having a nice cup of tea. He drinks from the cup then smiles.
Was an item in Eve's Film Review issue number 273.
Note: paper records spell Nelson's surname "Keyes" but on main title is "Keys". It has been suggested that when Nelson does his "Apache" he is impersonating Ivor Novello.
Safety print exists. Probably to be found in the "Stars as they Are" reel.
Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
