Summary

Pathe Intertitles - "For sheer speed, pep and defiance of gravity’s laws, this whirlwind exhibiion of light-hearted "throwaboutness" takes some beating -". One shot.

"And this is the "swallow-swing" - something between a dive and a swing -". One shot.

Researcher Comments

A programme from ‘Murrays Club’ on Regent Street appears in the Pathe boxfile. This is for the ‘Grand National Gala event’ beginning on Sunday 28th March and features Gerardo and Adair. As the shot list is written on this, it is likely that this is the venue for the item.
