No title. Paper records state that this act is “Tracey and Hay“. An exhibition dance is performed in the Pathe studio. It is an acrobatic routine with lots of lifts, spins, posturing etc. The woman wears ballet shoes and dances on points. “Moments of tense muscular strain - yet perfect in their balance -“ The man holds the woman by her ankles against his chest and he films her bending over backwards.
