Summary

NoS Summary - Michael Tripp dances the "freshman" dance from "Good News" at the Carlton Theatre.
British Pathe synopsis: Extracts from the theatrical show "Good News" at the Carlton Theatre in London. Chorus girls lean forwards and clap their hands as Michael Tripp performs a comedy dance routine on stage. This is presumably a skit on the Charleston as he does all sorts of silly, mad steps. Very fast, nutty dancing ensues. Intertitle reads: "Mixed Colleges mean mixed dances. The "Varsity Drag" provides the mixture." A group of chorus girls dressed in gymslips do a routine. Various principals dance in front of them, one woman lifting up her skirt to show off her legs and bloomers. M/S of some of the chorus girls dancing showing off their knee socks! Frenzied dancing takes place.
