A Sword Dance Performed before the King and Queen in India

Jaw-dropping acrobatics for royal visitors

Don't try this at home! Somewhere in India - probably Delhi, during the 1911 Delhi Durbar - men are doing dangerous things with swords. This is the just the sort of acrobatic turn that cameramen (in this case from Gaumont) like to capture on film, to entertain those who couldn't be there in person. A large crowd watches, but despite the film's title, if there's any royalty present they're off-screen.
