Summary
Pathe synopsis: Lose it by lifting it - we refer, of couorse, to weight. At a gym in Charing Cross, London, wrestler Lou Ravelle runs classes for girls who want to slim by weight-lifting. No girl is asked to lift anything heavier than she is capable of, but if she puts up a mental barrier against ordinary weights, then Lou will put it right by hypnosis.
