Variety Jubilee

Variety Jubilee is a 1943 British historical musical film directed by Maclean Rogers and starring Reginald Purdell, Ellis Irving and Lesley Brook.

At the start of the 20th century, two former variety artists, Joe and Kit, become partners in running a music hall.

Eventually, Kit's grandson successfully resurrects the family music hall, before joining the RAF to fight in the second World War.

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 old-timers 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.
