• Short Summary

    Dancers demonstrate their amazing suppleness in exercises.

  • Description

    Titles read: "NOW OUR SPECIAL SECTION for the Ladies - Feminine pictorialities (No. 4) - Girls will be dancers!".

    Location of events unknown - probably United States of America.

    Good opening shot of a line of chorus girls doing high kicks in a routine (we only see their legs). We then see several shots of dancers in a rehearsal hall demonstrating their amazing suppleness. They do the splits and bend forwards and backwards over their legs; they stand on one leg, bend the other leg up behind them and touch their heads with their feet; they do the splits in mid-air.

    One girl does a back somersault while wearing a contraption to take the weight during practice. Girls do cartwheels and handstands. A male trainer watches over them.
