British Pathe synopsis: The waltz of the kiss is performed by Harry Raye and Billie Maye of the Embassy Club London, Paris and New York. It is performed by arrangement with Albert de Courville. L/S of the dancers performing the waltz against a backdrop of curtains and pillars. C/U of Billee as she lifts one leg high gives the cameraman and the cinema audience a nice peek at her voluminous petticoats and lovely legs. She sinks to her knees and Harry gives her a kiss. He flings her around a little bit more and they kiss again. The dance ends with a bow and curtsey. - Keywords
