The Crawl Charleston (or Charleston Blues), at the piano - Annette Mills, Composer of the original music. London M/S of Santos Casani introducing the Crawl Charleston. He demonstrates the dance with Jean Mence (in a long dress) to the music played by Annette Mills at the piano. Intertitle explains "To demonstrate the footwork, we'll have to change Miss Mence's frock."
