| Description: | The "Hoodoo" man! - A fellow from Carolina, who dances on glass - broken. Carolina (North or South?), United States of America. M/Ss of an African-American man, the 'Hoodoo' man, sitting on a box, breaking glass bottles with a hammer as a small crowd of people stand around him. The crowd is Caucasian. We hear him say he is going to dance on the glass and that it is good for rheumatism - children in the crowd laugh. Various shots of the man dancing on the broken glass in bare feet (youch!) as a man in the crowd plays a banjo. Another man in the crowd speaks to the Hoodoo man ("What you gonna do now, boy?") and the Hoodoo man does some fire-eating, to the amazement of the crowd. | |
