Summary

British Pathe synopsis: Title reads: "the Musical Comedy at the London Hippodrome". Frank Masters performs a comedy tap dancing routine in front of a chorus line of women. The dance involves acrobatic moves and some early "break-dancing" style spins. Mary Titus - an "India Rubber lady" stretches and bends her body with the chorus looking on. Ardath Des Sales performs some ballet. Betty Garson does a high kick routine.

Researcher Comments
