Summary

NoS synopsis: "A dainty dancing trifle from "Nippy" the Musical Play". "Dainty steps and shadowy figures - and the twinkling toes of Miss Binnie Hale -". Binnie Hale does a song and dance routine in front of a chorus of men dressed as gollywogs. Members of the chorus come on to the stage dressed as different toys: a marionette, pierrots, a dog, Mickey Mouse, toy soldiers, Little Bo Peep etc. Binnie is lifted aloft by the gollywogs. Binnie ends her dance by spinning around vigorously and falling to her knees. The curtain closes.
