Summary

NoS Summary - Tap dancing routine with a difference - done inside twirling lassos.
British Pathe synopsis: The Milne Sisters perform a dance and lariat act. They wear shorts and braces over white shirts and tap dance inside twirling lassos. High angle shot of the girls shows off their lassoing technique. C/U of one of the sisters lassoing away. C/U of her legs as she taps away. One of the girls does the splits still lassoing. The other sister does a Cossack style crouched leg kick routine with the lasso. One of the sisters ducks under the others’ lasso and puts her arms around her waist. They dance and smile inside the lasso.
