Summary

Pathe Intertitles - "The minuet ... Its stately measure was the very breath of a mellower day, when girls were coy and swains gallant ..."
"Dainty, formal tunes, coaxed from a dignified instrument, set the measure of the modest minuet."
"But now!"
"Great-great-great-grandfather asked the pleasure of a dance with all the flourishes of a courtier ..."
"The twentieth century invitation to dance is much more terse ... "Shall us?" "Let’s!""
"If the jazz mania had seized the youngsters of the Eighteenth Century, history would be full of duels and feuds and sudden death!"
