Roman Scandal in West End revue, St Martins Theatre, London

Feb. 29 What the audience sees as the sketch finishes. Hattie still sings in spite of her predicament. The show must go on, whether in ancient Rome or modern West End revue. A ROMAN SCANDAL IN A WEST END REVUE: One of the highlights of the new intimate revue The Bells of St. Martin's at the St. Martin's Theatre, is In Perspective in which outsize comedienne, Hattie Jacques appears inside a picture frame, seated at a table with three Roman admirers. Hattie sings to them nostalgically while they drink toasts to her beauty. All is well until an apple rolls down the table and out of sight, then Hattie herself starts to fall, she tries desperately to save herself by thrusting a leg over the table, but it is too late and she ends spread-eagled on the table, her wreath awry, but still gamely finishing her song. Our photographer takes us behind the scenes and shows how two tough propmen hold up Hattie during her ordeal
