Mass Physical Jerks (1938)

Titles read: “MASS PHYSICAL JERKS“. Prague, Czechoslovakia. At the Sokol Festival in Prague’s Masaryk Stadium, we see hundreds of men doing physical exercises to music. A huge crowd watches from the spectator stand as the men swing their arms about and strike postures in unison. Hundreds of young girls do a kind of prancing dance routine to traditional music. People in the crowd cheer and wave white handkerchiefs. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
