1900s
Exterior of theater. A billboard advertises a performance by famed ballerina Anna Pavlova. Pavlova dancing en pointe in a tutu. A dwarf performs in clownishly large shoes against a backdrop of a street scene. He kicks off his top hat with the shoes. Two women and a man dance before a woodland backdrop. Two men dressed as jockeys and carrying whips mime racing on imaginary horses. Well dressed, wealthy Britons at the races at Ascot. Women wear large hats and carry parasols. Jockeys on race horses pass through the crowds. Stills of people dressed all in black at the 1910 Ascot, in mourning over the death of King Edward VII.
