- Summary
- NoS Summary - A high kick routine performed by "Chita" of Cochran’s Revue.
British Pathe synopsis: "Meet "Chita" the famous dancer from Cochran’s Revue - and the kind of figure that Artists (and modern Eves) dream about." C/U of Chita in a sparkly skimpy outfit and top hat. She dances with a cane doing lots of high kicks. It is a very acrobatic routine. She does one handed cartwheels then bows to the camera. "Suppleness personified - especially when our slow camera takes a turn - " Footage of the routine in slow motion, includes a backwards roll. "Over and over - never losing that easy grace - even when the slow "eye" looks at her." Very graceful acrobatic sequences. - Keywords
