Variety Jubilee


Variety Jubilee is a 1943 British historical musical film directed by Maclean Rogers and starring Reginald Purdell, Ellis Irving and Lesley Brook. It depicts life in a London music hall from 1892 to the Second World War. It was made at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith. The film was rereleased in 1945, to capitalise on the popularity of Ealings Champagne Charlie.

Radio Times gave the film three out of five stars, noting a simple, nostalgic tribute to the British music hall...The film consists largely of musical variety acts performed by numerous forgotten oldtimers of a bygone era, with Marie Lloyd Jr impersonating her famous mother. Comedian George Robey, a team of cancan dancers and the band of the Coldstream Guards are also among the arcane and rather touching attractions.
