| Description: | DANCE TIME Scenes from the Palais de Danse in Wimbledon - good Charleston footage, exhibition dancing etc. Palais de Dance, Wimbledon, England. Shot looking down on couples dancing on dance floor. MS dancers' legs moving on the shiny wood floor; skirt length right about the knee; some women wear shiny/sparkly garters. Closer still, more shots of couples' feet dancing, floor very crowded. MLS woman sitting at side of dance floor watching dancers in BG. More legs dancing. MS Famous cricketer Jack Hobbs sitting at table in night club; crowd in BG. World's Ballroom Champions for 1925 Miss Phyllis Haylor and Mr. Alec Millar demonstrate Waltz. Wide shot of the pair dancing on big floor; people in BG watching. MS group of young men & women smiling and clapping. Next, the champions Miss Haylor and Mr. Millar dancing the Charleston. Spectators behind railing clapping. Miss Leslie Sergeant and Mr. Edward Blunt, finalists in various London and Paris Championships, 1925-1926, perform the one-step. Bizarre shot: speeded up film from side of dance floor of dancers whirling by in jerky movements; man in FG stands watching dancers; since he's not moving much it looks as if only the BG of what's on screen is at the faster speed, like some video trick. This alternates w/ shots of Hobbs at table, signing autographs for fans. | |
