Alma The Dancer (1929)

No title. Alma Mackie walks onto stage twirling around, then she does high kicks forwards and backwards. She then bends backwards towards camera until her head touches the floor. She then proceeds with more high kicks forwards, backwards and sideways. Intertitle reads “A good high kick is a relief to the system - but few girls can emulate Miss Mackie’s supple grace“. Slow motion shots of high kicking sequence. Various high kicks, stretches and even a cartwheel, same again shot in slow motion. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
