I have been spooking around British Pathe again... While I was writing
Up, Back, and Away, I was always dipping into bits and pieces of the 1920s for inspiration. There was a popular musical at the London Hippodrome in 1925 called
Mercenary Mary. The story was forgettable, but a couple of the songs are favorites of mine and, (getting back to British Pathe) here's a little film clip that speaks to the glories (and the oddness) of London in the 1920s:
MOVIE MOMENTS FROM MERCENARY MARY
The film is silent, but maybe you can watch it after you listen a bit of to the music. (Sorry, I can't seem to get the movie and the music to open separately):
