Summary

British Pathe synopsis: "Ellen Brockhoefft, Germany’s crack Skater, demonstrates something that can’t be taught by correspondence." Ellen, in a fur trimmed skating outfit, demonstrates some tricky ice skating moves. "The slow camera makes everything nice and easy (to look at) for budding skaters" We see her skating in slow motion - we get lots of flashes of her bloomers. "You’ll never know how hard ice really is until you try these" Ellen does some twirls. Various shots of her figure skating technique including more slow motion shots. "Progress by leaps and bounds." More skating shots.
