"Few words of ours are needed to introduce the dainty charmer from "Mary" - Miss Evelyn Laye - at home" Shot of Evelyn sitting on a window seat reading a book, her face is obscured. She slowly lowers the book and smiles broadly at the camera. She slams the book shut then throws it down on the window seat. She gets up, kicking a large cushion out of the way. Exterior of the house. Evelyn comes out with her dog. A border collie I think. The dog takes morsels of food from her hand. She talks to and pets the dog. We then see Miss Laye on the tennis court. She runs towards the net, telling off an unseen partner and laughing. C/U of Evelyn pretending to be cross and making faces. She then takes a big bite from an apple.
"Wonder if it's the apple that caused Adam so much trouble?" She takes more bites and chews. "We know not where the Prodigal son is, but here's the fatted calf" Evelyn walks towards the camera followed by a small calf. She feeds it from a bucket. C/U of Evelyn and the calf. Evelyn is then filmed in part of her garden. It is rather grand. She skips around then sits on a bench. She throws morsels of food into a little pond. "It was very upsetting - the gold-fish pulled such faces that Miss Laye thought it time to go back to the Theatre." M/S of Evelyn getting in to her car - her maid stands beside it. The chauffeur closes the door of the car and they drive off. M/S of Evelyn climbing out of her car at the theatre. She waves at the camera as crowds at the stage door look on.
Note: "Mary" was a play of 1921 starring Ralph Lynn and Evelyn Laye. It was staged at the Queen's Theatre so this is presumably the location of the last shot.
Safety print exists. Probably to be found in the "Stars as They Are" reel.
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.
On June 4 1913, suffragette Emily Wilding Davison made her way in to the history books when she fell under the hooves of George V’s horse at the Epsom Derby. But was it intentional?
From well-constructed and contrived quips to completely natural and seemingly spontaneous comments, there's something fascinating about people's last words.
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.
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.
