Tea and Ceylon


Hermione Gingold
Here's a zany Hermione Gingold / Billy de Wolfe skit.

Close your eyes and imagine yourself in the midst of a merrily mellow group of isolated emigres in a rural village in the Odenwald (near the Black Forest), some 40+ years ago.  
We would have been well into a party.
 
Now picture two buffoons (one of whom was me) with lampshades on their heads, miming with great expression the accompanying dialogue as it emanated from a tape player hidden behind the sofa. 

Enormously amusing at the time.     But maybe you just had to be there.


(Patience - it takes a minute or so for the audio to load.)
