Fence And Keep Fit (1927)

No title. A group of school boys (between 1316 years old I would say) practice their fencing strokes in the open air. Parents and other boys watch while they go through their paces. They move in unison as they practice various steps and thrusts. Intertitle reads: Fence and keep fit is a good saying here, for almost every muscle is brought into play in this doublehanded C, U of a youngish boy practising. Another boy (possibly younger about 10 ) practices his thrust and parry technique. A fencing master and a pupil have a duel. None of those fencing wear masks. We then see slow motion footage of two adults fencing. Paper records state that this is a school in France. Was an item in Pathe Pictorial issue number 497. FILM A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
