Mr. Malcolm Scott – The Sketch – Wednesday 17th June 1908

 

WILL MANCHESTER BAR HIM OR WATCH HIM?

  MALCOLM SCOTT AS SALOME AND IN DIRECTOIRE DRESS.

 

Mr. Malcolm Scott, who is appearing at the London Pavilion, now gives a “Salome” dance in the Maud Allan manner (more or less), and also dons a Directoire dress. When next he goes to Manchester, will the Watch Committee who decided to ban Miss Allan’s “Salome” dance bar him also? If so, Manchester will suffer yet another blow. The end of the chorus of Mr. Scott’s Directoire song is as follows; “You think I’m fast, and you think I’ve got a past, You have never seen my costume in a rectory. If you want my name simply go and look in your directory.”
