Figure Perfection 1931

Star Item

Description

"Meet "Chita" the famous dancer from Cochran's Revue - and the kind of figure that Artists (and modern Eves) dream about."

C/U of Chita in a rather fetching sparkly skimpy outfit and top hat. She dances with a cane doing lots of high kicks. It is a very acrobatic and kind of sexy routine!...
