The Seven Ages of Man

Shakespearean actor Maurice Evans narrates this lengthy pantomime sketch with all seven ages - from "mewling and pewking" to "sans hair, sans teeth, sans everything" - enacted by Skelton. Red mimes a baby, then goes up the ladder as Junior, the Mean Widdle Kid, followed by impressions of a young lover, a soldier, a judge, a senior citizen and an old man. Red also sings his own touching composition, "Little Boy."
