Druidical Burlesque

Lively, bewigged London students celebrate a pantomime horse-style bull

Non-Fiction 1923 2 mins Silent

Overview

Students from the Central School of Art in London don wigs and gowns or sheets and - with splendid anachronistic confusion which mixes Christian and Pagan symbolism - proceed to "christen the Bull with mistletoe". This Gaumont Graphic newsreel item dates to a period of occult and druidical revival, and the druids here certainly go for it.
