Fred Sylvester And Nephew Issue Title Pals! (1942)

Fred Sylvester and Nephew. Part of the PALS! issue. London, probably Pathe Studio. Various shots of Fred Sylvester, a tall man in an American Policeman uniform and his ’nephew’ - I think it is actually a midget - going through their tumbling and balancing turn. Very clever stuff, with amazing lifts and balances. Fred is also seen in PT 193 - with his ’Midgets’. (Due to different takes being edited together, the nephew’s hat appears and disappears quite a lot!) FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
