The Western Brothers - they call themselves brothers because they are cousins - say their ancestors came from Devon. For years they have behaved like bounders with little respect for anything, in particular for Empire Builders and the huntin', shootin', and fishin' fraternity. White and Old School Ties, including their own colours, egg, green, and egg, have received their special attention. Both are monocled and gravely bored. Kenneth is the plumper of the two; George, the pianist, has what he would claim to be a handsome leanness. They met for the first time in 1925 when George was a pianist with 'The Roosters' and Kenneth a lyric-writer. To appease sensitive people who may object to their satire, Kenneth has explained that a cad is not necessarily a cad, but can mean a tavern-lounger, an idle fellow, or a vagabond.

Alex Moore and Pat Kilpatrick will give viewers another demonstration of steps and style.
In addition to demonstrating the 'Swing Step', Alex Moore and Pat Kilpatrick will teach the basic steps of the foxtrot. This dance, Alex Moore says, is not the so-called foxtrot one sees in crowded restaurants, but a beautiful flowing dance that is seen only in the popular dance halls, where dancing is regarded as an indoor sport.
