Summary
Pathe Intertitles - "There isn’t a solitary P.C. in this film - but just how a trick dancer learns to defy the law of gravity - (with the help of our "slow" Camera.)"
"To learn the next trick, all you require is a little determination - (and half a dozen girl friends.)"
"The "jump up" is not so easy -"
"Unless you learn to do it in slow-motion -"
"Laughing at the law - of gravity!"
