- Summary
- NoS Summary - Extracts from "Kid Boots" - Leslie Henson and Diana Wilson do slapstick.
NoS synopsis: "As "Kid Boots", the Caddie-Master, Leslie henson, doesn’t think much of the Lady Doctor’s golf -!". Leslie Henson on stage. He shows a lady golfer his swing technique. She has a go but the sleeves and scarf of her dress get in the way. Leslie pulls a face in C/U. She takes a shot and the ball travels in a bizarre fashion, missing the hole by a long chalk. Leslie does a silly dance to celebrate her misfortune. "But, the Lady Doctor (Miss Diana Wilson) gets her own back when Leslie comes up for treatment!" She sits him in a chair and waves a finger at him. She then turns up the dials on a machine which seem to give him electric shocks. He shuffles around on the floor on his bottom, picks up a stool and rubs his backside with it. This is repeated. - Researcher Comments
