Summary
NoS Summary - Anton Dolin, Dora Vadimova, Constance Carpenter, Patrick Waddington and Beatrice Lillie at the Cambridge Theatre.
NoS synopsis: "A dainty dance by Constance Carpenter and Patrick Waddington -" Constance Carpenter and Patrick Waddington do a dainty dance on top of a table whilst the chorus float around in chiffon frocks. ""Skating Shoes" is another dance opportunity, for Anton Dolin and Dora Vadimova." Anton Dolin and Dora Vadimova perform a dance called "Skating Shoes." Dora wears a frock with fur trimmed cuffs. Dance routine - girls wear top hats, black trousers and skimpy white waistcoats with nothing underneath! They dance holding walking sticks, a tap routine. "But, Beatrice Lillie has a sopt of bother with her skating shoes -" One of the girls sings a song. Various shots of the dance. "And, will ladies’ fashions ever come to these chic personality styles?" M/S of a girl on roller skates who is lying on her stomach on a chair as if to do swimming exercises. Behind her stand chorus girls dressed as usherettes.
