British Pathe synopsis: Acrobatic act on a piano top. Unusual high angle shot of a drawing room setting. A man sits at the piano and a woman sits on it! The woman jumps off the piano, the man walks around the piano to join her. The man does a handstand on the piano aided by the woman. He walks on his hands on the piano. The woman leans backwards onto the piano and the man does a handstand on her hands. High angle shot of the acrobatics. The man turns to look at the camera. The woman climbs up onto the piano and leans backwards into a "crab". The man then does a handstand on her stomach! She then sticks one of her legs out. The woman places a handkerchief on the piano and then the woman bands over backwards to pick it up with her teeth, at the same time lifting the man up into the air with her thighs! They jump down and take a bow. - Keywords
