Live recording of the original 1937 production of "Me and my Girl", with Lupino Lane and Teddie St Denis at the Victoria Palace. HMV BD 596 from my collection, stills from a BBC broadcast of the show from a few months later, and various finds from the web.
This gives us the chance of three different versions - this 78 is the 1937 original with audience participation. The BBC showed a somewhat different stage version in 1938 without the audience participation. And neither with amplification. The studio film released in 1940 is recognisably like the BBC's but Lane could sing it more quietly.

Lovely. This is Ida Lupino's father! Notice his cut-through-the-fog nasal treble voice -necessary in the days before microphones.

Great version. My grandmother (father's mother) was born in Lambeth Walk in 1889.

As a youngster I saw Lupino Lane in one of the forties revivals; I think 1945 but it could have been 1949. My parents were great theatre goers and loved musicals and variety theatre!

This is a great rendition. I have been told that I am a distant relatitive of Lupino Lane . His ancestor, Gergio Luppino left Italy in the1600's to England and later-and dropped one p and my side of the family Left Italy in 1921 and landed in America and kept both p's .

Live location recordings were used rarely for commercial disc issue, although many radio programmes broadcast in English from European stations were recorded in London theatres. This is an excellent example, which brings us the atmosphere of being in the audience. I love the audience participation captured in the final minutes of the record.

Delightful! (Actually he's Ida's uncle, his brother was her father Stanley Lupino.)

This is Teddie St Denis singing the female lead .. The still pictures show Valerie Tandy which she played Sally Smith in the 1945 revival.. This is from pre war ...

@risingchads Ай бұрын

The film is 1938, images from random times. The 78 is the oldest, the 1937 version of the show. It played for a long time and got changed regularly.

@@risingchads Yes it's Teddie's voice playing Sally Smith ....In the 45/46 revival Sally Smith was played by Valerie Tandy - the actress in the still image ...A live performance was filmed in 1946 by the BBC for a series called Television is back.. That live performance shows Valerie as Sally Smith.... Valerie was an already a windmill girl & accomplished dancer ...

I have both the audio of your version and this version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8lmi7im2Jutc2g.html. The latter has video. But there is something incredibly powerful and moving in your version. I wish your recording had been with done with video. But thanks all the same for having preserved it.

All three are different versions of the show - my 78 is the earliest version and wasn't filmed so I've fitted the film from a year later. The link is to a studio film, mine is a live show with no amplification... something you'll never hear

Thanks for this. I have the cast album from the 1986 Broadway production and the liner notes on both the LP and CD releases go on and on about Lupino Lane as anyone in the U. S. would have any idea who he was. Interesting to finally find out what the writer was talking about.

I believe that, during WW2, this served as the music for a short artistic movie, showing Hitler's soldiers from genuine footage walking forwards and backwards in a sort of stopmotion, to the rhythm of the music, with footage of The Fuehrer himself inserted when it fitted the music. Hitler's propaganda minister, Goebbels, is said to have been caught by a fit of anger comparable only to the tantrum of a hysterical kid, fuming and throwing stuff around the room at such a display of what he considered "Jewish decadence".
