No titles.  The Dance Bus.



Location of events unknown.



M/S of a group of people boarding a small bus or charabanc by the side of a road.  High angle view looking down on the top of the bus as a man rolls up the roof so we can see inside.  There is a woman sitting at and playing an upright piano inside and two or three couples dance to the music.  Another girls stands beside the piano, swaying to the music.  There is a man sitting in the driver's seat of the bus, but it doesn't really look like we are driving along - we seem to be stationary.



The girl who was swaying by the piano then takes the floor alone to give us a little dance - great for 1920s or early 1930s dancing!  



Item ends abruptly - seems to be incomplete.



This probably originates from Pathe Sound Magazine 26.



Note: item is out of synch throughout due to early sound recording.
