| Description: | THE DANCE OF THE SEA - BY VERONICA THE FAMOUS SPECIALITY DANCER Veronica "the famous Specialty Dancer" performs a contorted dance on stage set representing the ocean floor. Fantastic dance routine - Veronica emerges from a shell and dances for a man in a diving suit! London Starts w/ a clam slowly opening; woman wearing bikini top and feathery tutu climbs out holding a big ostrich feather fan. LS same she walks en pointe to center; meanwhile a guy in a diver suit stands behind and seems to be sneaking up on her brandishing what looks like a sharp shiny object! She dances around a bit. MS she does backbend from kneeling position in front of diver, then raises back up waving her fan. Next she lies on her side and bends her back to an extreme degree grabbing one foot and putting it over her shoulder from behind. More walking around on her toes, then she does another backbend, raises one leg in the air, etc. etc. as diver looks on. For a finale Veronica does yet another backbend, and this time she goes round in a circle in that weird rolling sort of walk- -switching from back on top to front on top to back to front etc. etc. She then stands up again. CU diver looking out of round helmet. LS diver takes step toward her but she retreats to her shell. MS Veronica gets back into shell and closes it.
