I've seen richard hearn dancing the lancers several times on early t/v. I also saw him in a film called "something in the city" where he would leave his house at 9.05am exactly on the dot every morning, he was dressed immaculately as a city worker with bowler hat, striped trousers and umbrella, he would travel by bus and train then bus again to the other side of london and enter a house re emerging ten minutes later dressed as a pavement artist which was in fact what he was, it was a great comedy.

Is there a copy of Mr Pastry dancing the Lancers available. I danced the Lancers when I was younger.
A happy dancer, Jean

Hi Dan,
If you would like to see "The Lancers" entree by Mr. Pastry. You will almost certainly enjoy Mr. Pastry and a Sousaphone. Original and very, very funny !

Regards.

Hi,

Mick Davies is absolutely right but, just a bit more info re Mr. Pastry. At the end of his performance he used to perform a dance for eight people (called "The Lancers") on his own. This was an absolute scream. To conclude, I've laughed myself poorly at both Richard Hearn and Tremont Blackman.

Thanks Mick, that means we've established who Mr. Pastry is, _and_ who performed Mule Train!

As I remember Mister Pastry was called Richard Hearn. He did a slapstick act - usually featuring a lot of flour - on TV shows like Crackerjack in the 1960s.
