Ringing The Changes (1922)

No title. A Peep at Bert Errol, Female Impersonator (drag act) - filmed at London Coliseum. C/U of Bert in his dressing room.

His assistant brings a large ostrich feather fan. Bert gets up and snatches it from her. A young man rushes through the door presumably to fetch Bert for his stage appearance. They both run out of the room. We then see Bert undressing - he takes of a man’s overcoat and suit to reveal a pair of women’s bloomers. C/U of Bert’s face - heavily made-up. By means of a camera trick (film reversal) we see Bert dressing up as a woman double-quick-time. Items of clothing fly through the air and he catches them. He then walks out of the dressing room in high heels. Bert’s wife is his assistant apparently. She stands in the wings and helps him with his quick changes. The man seen earlier h
