1 1 form y separately published work icon ['Honi Soit' – Five Minute Movie] Harry Rickards' Tivoli Theatres , Lester Brown , Barry Lupino , ( dir. Lester Brown ) 1918 13747769 1918 single work film/TV humour

Conceived as a novelty interlude for the Australian production of the hit London revue, Honi Soit, this 600 ft untitled film featured the show’s lead comedian, Barry Lupino and several other members of the cast. Inserted into the revue immediately before Lupino’s initial entrance, the film was viewed by critics as a wholly original theatrical concept, with much praise given to both the director, Lester Brown, and Lupino himself.

Honi Soit was produced by Hugh D. McIntosh for Harry Rickards Tivoli Theatres Ltd. The five minute film was also included as part of the Sydney production.
