Comedy sketches from music hall comedians Grossmith and Payne.

Show full synopsis

Two sketches from the Gaiety Theatre musical comedy 'Our Miss Gibbs' with George Grossmith Jr, Edmund Payne and Madge Melbourne. The backdrop represents the theatre.

Note: The film uses inter-titles, which were being used more commonly by this time to explain what was going on in the act. There was originally a final 'Village Concert' scene, which is missing from this print.
