“The Quiet Game“ - A Harlequin-London Scottish Peep (1923)

Intertitle reads: “Of all the games that we love best, There’s none like gentle Rugger.“ (Legend)“ L/S of a scrum taking place on a rugby field. Hardly anyone in stands so presumably is training or practice. Closer shots of men jumping for the ball. Rough and tumble as the game progresses. We see a “line-out“ in slow motion thanks to the “Rapid Eye Camera.“ Another slow motion shot - this time in L/S as a player is brought down with a tackle. More slow motion and real speed footage of the Harlequin team’s practice. The Scottish team is not named. Was an item in Pathe Pictorial issue number 266. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
