Ooops! I forgot that 'baby' falls off the balcony at the end.:o

Still very little input from the thread starter, who is fast becoming the Accyweb s***stirrer

Re: Everybody's Out of Step.......
 

Never mind "Baby" what happened to the poor cat?

Not sure I'll "sleep tight" until I know...:rolleyes::D

(Something in that dance made me think of Nazi Germany -or is that just my over-active mind...)

Re: Everybody's Out of Step.......
 

I don't know what happened to the kitten, maybe the cleaning lady took care of it.

I know what you mean though about the vigorous arm movements. I wonder who the choreographer was?

Re: Everybody's Out of Step.......
 

For some bizarre reason I thought that "Golddiggers" was directed by Busby Berkeley. However on checking I find that the movie was directed by a chap called Mervyn LeRoy. Berkeley is credited with creating and directing the dance numbers. I'm glad I cleared that up.

Re: Everybody's Out of Step.......
 

That's probably because he is credited as Director at the beginning of the You tube clip....

Isn't he the one who did all the kaleidascope type dancing/swimming routines?

Re: Everybody's Out of Step.......
 

He certainly was hunny.

here's another tid-bit from "42nd Street" (1933) featuring the utterly divine Ruby Keeler and the so so soigne Dick Powell.

BUSBY BERKELEY - RUBY KEELER IN 42ND STREET (a film by ROY DEL RUTH - 1933) - YouTube

At the end of the show Dick Powell pulls down the safety curtain, you will note that it has 'ASBESTOS' written on it, which reminds me of my misspent childhood. I managed to get into the old Hippodrome Music Hall in Accy, and there was an enormous safety curtain there too, made of woven asbestos. Being kind of dumb then, I have always had a healthy disregard for Elf-n-Safety, we cut holes in it so that we could use a rope from the fly tower to swing through the safety curtain out over the orchestra pit.
Ahhh, happy days - wot fun!

Looks like I will survive a depression - I can tap dance ;)

Re: Everybody's Out of Step.......
 

How cool is that! So can I -just. Perhaps we should team up. Marge and bob. What do you think?

Re: Everybody's Out of Step.......
 

I'd better get practicing then:D

Re: Everybody's Out of Step.......
 

I would pay to see you both dance.

Re: Everybody's Out of Step.......
 

were the understage doors still working in your days in the hippodrome A-B? bet yeh got in through that little window entrance at the end of the back,which was at ground level.;)

Re: Everybody's Out of Step.......
 

How did you know that? We also found a little room at the top of the theatre with oddly sloping walls. It was only when we poked a big hole in the plaster and looked through it that we realised that we were looking down into the theatre from the top of the proscenium arch
