Summary
Pathe synopsis: The juke box, normally associated with jazz and rock ‘n’ roll, is rapidly becoming "respectable". At a coffee-bar in Hampstead, London, we see one of these gaudy machines among the potted palms, playing Strauss and Stravinsky. Then, behind the scenes at a juke box factory, we see some fasinating aspects of how they are made: "respectable" or otherwise.
