Kenway and Young - comedians and impressionists. Part of issue ABBEY DAYS.
Pathe Studios, London.
Nan Kenway and Douglas Young with some clever Impersonations. Nan and Douglas do a sketch about a bottle of whiskey. They think it is too long and decide to abbreviate it so they perform the sketch only using first letter of words (includes unintentionally funny line "I O LSD"). Douglas then does a series of impressions of famous film actors: George Arliss, James Robertson Hare and Edward Everett Horton. He uses hats, wigs and props to look like personalities.

Hilary Young says
I have a BBC TV studio photograph of Kenway and Young performing in a programme hosted by Arthur Marshall at 3pm on 22/12/1937. They appear to be giving the same performance as on the film which you date to the following day. Did Pathe use TV as a source for light entertainment to film?
Incidentally I assume that your blurb writer knows that in 1938 LSD would have meant pounds shillings and pence.
