Joe Termini (1939)

Titles read: “Pathetone presents - Another Popular Variety Star - JOE TERMINI - The Somnolent Melodist“. London, probably Pathe Studio. Various shots of comedian Joe Termini playing his violin - after a few notes his shirt vest snaps up and hits him in the face, then he hits himself in the face with the violin. He manages to play a jaunty tune, sometimes moving the violin over the bow instead of the other way around. He also plucks the strings and flips the instrument over and over. It’s very funny!
