Dance Of The Simpleton 1925

Star Item

Description

No title.

The "dance of the simpleton" - a waltz to Chopin is illustrated. A strange looking woman dances. Very stylised, bizarre movements with a fan. At the end of the dance, the woman takes off her mask. Quirky, weird, bizarre little turn.

Very short segment. Story incomplete....
