Summary

Pathe synopsis: A beautiful blond being pummelled by a young man, while two others sit nearby doing nothing about it - except playing harmonicas. Callous brutes? No, it is just the Three Monarchs relaxing backstage of London’s Prince of Wales theatre; two of them rehearse a number while the third, who is also a physiotherapist, massages (not too seriously!) one of the showgirls in time to their music.
