Soft Lights and Sweet Music - Acrobats

Some amazing acrobats (1936).

[@ryukenosuke]

...holy....crap. My mouth had dropped open after the first half minute and stayed open until the end...
That's some crazy skills, trust, and obvious training.

[@pagangwynne3627]

As an old fart who grew up with variety shows I love watching the 'got talent' shows from around the world. Often I find myself watching the acrobats/dance troupes and just thinking wow how far acrobats/dance troupes have come! And then I watch this and think wow they're even better. This was an amazing act with 3 amazing acrobats/dancers.

[@Ignauhak]

I'm sure it should demonstrate just how much trust exists between those people...

[@acrobatterry]

Thanks for posting this wonderful routine, I've never seen it before this.
My first act was very similar, my teacher obviously knew the act well.

[@arlene1934corwin]

As a practitioner of hatha yoga, I found this oh so inspiring!

[@xander7ful]

These people are amazing athletes.
And I agree with Marcoy. There are so many unemployed people out there with incredible gifts - including athletic - that we need to get back to this kind of entertainment and see more of this.

[@mealypeggy]

wow, Amazing that is sooo cool i love it!!! thanks for sharing this with the world!

[@prembajwa57]

L hanno massacrata!

[@transistor754]

STrewth! The poor girl!!!? .get thrown around like a rag doll... did she survive? Bloody amazing timing!

[@user-fb8jc4qm1w]

È dannatamente eccitante vedere come la trattano! La considerano solo una bambola di pezza da prendere e sbatterla in giro per il loro solo piacere! Ma anche per il piacere di chi guarda

[@falconer100]

Amazing, especially the finishing sequence.

[@mcspanky09]

[@SONGSTICKS]

[@juan58102]

Fantastic ... Karina was the most , among the acrobats girls in the 1936's

[@markhorton3994]

Where did you get the name? Please share.

[@clounjouris]

super!!!

[@AlexandreJunior2014]

amazing

[@ALLexanderKPP]

Hm....lovely.

[@MelanieAF]

Amazing skill, control, training, fascinating to watch-but there's something the tiniest bit creepy or unwholesome about the vibe of the act.
Another good one is the Ragamuffin Romeo dance section from the early talkie revue "King Of Jazz".

[@steve0281]

They're what you might call "highly skilled."

[@Suntro]

This is very cool.

[@pronkerpronker6708]

Thanks for posting. I have a signed postcard of Ms. Karina and it's a rare find. The apache dance is traditional, not for all tastes, I agree, but it featured in some movies like this one. I wonder which film this is? The styles suggest 1930s.

[@lynnematheson2835]

Could i ask where you got it from?

[@pronkerpronker6708]

@@lynnematheson2835 It was in a box of old photos in the garage of the house when we moved in.

[@lynnematheson2835]

@@pronkerpronker6708 That's an amazing find. She was a beautiful, incredibly gifted woman and performer. It's nice to hear she still can be found in the strangest places. Take care of that picture it is indeed a rare find and i'm glad she is not forgotten.

[@jedprosn08]

ang galing nio naman

[@ibm650]

Karina was amazingly beautiful.

[@OliverDouble]

This is a great clip. I collect films (like Soft Lights and Sweet Music) from the 1930s and 1940s which showcased variety acts. Where did you get this from, and is there any chance I could get a copy?

[@grayfly]

Karina, Vadio and Hertz 1936.
Karina was from Glasgow, Scotland

[@modelacro]

i'd love to be doing a duo with this girl anyday.

[@user-fb8jc4qm1w]

Io invece la vorrei vedere con un gruppo di uomini arrabbiati che se la prendono e passano di mano in mano senza nessuna pietà!

[@rickriffel6246]

The bikini existed, years before it was named the bikini.

[@dttruman]

Yeah, this was even before the belly-button rule. Where the belly-button couldn't be shown and had to be covered.

[@JessMews]

Amazing routine, but what's with the close up on the guy watching with his hand in his pocket?

[@patriciamarambio5396]

Do you kwon more about they?...Names or maybe the movie?

[@sosmanpipo]

[@jazzyspazzrawr]

well what does this say about gender politics in the 1930s?

[@quitebitterpi]

lol

[@helenaconstantine]

Clearly they should have gotten Augustine and his orchestra rather than Ambrose.

[@elmondark]

i wish they'd just drop her :)
hmm must be painfull if they missed catching her...

[@caelestis42]

cool and nice but not spectacular, 4/5 :)

[@rannajim]

Hey Lady, get out of that joint. I don't think these guys are into women.......

[@user-fb8jc4qm1w]

Invece penso che la prendono così proprio perché sanno come si trattano le donne! Spero che anche altre donne siano state prese così

[@vlaurend]

Gee, for 1936, this was practically porn, LOL!

[@akatsukikarl]

Fake

[@belledejour15]

Yes, incredible acrobatics, but the choreography is really awful
