Summary
NoS Summary - A dance by the Max Rivers’ Trocadero Girls.
British Pathe synopsis: The Max Rivers Girls do a high kick routine arm in arm. "Something with lots of kick in it." they wear lacy costumes which show off their legs and dance in front of a curtained backdrop. We see their legs in C/U, and their upper bodies and faces in C/U. Top shot of the girls as they dance and throw their heads back. Shots of the dance from lots of different angles. C/U of the girls’ bent legs as the camera goes in close. The girls pair off and hop around the stage then do some more high kicks. "These young dancers have a lot of kicks in their repertoire, but the Slow-camera can show them another one or two." Slow motion footage of the girls dancing. Incomplete
