Various shots of acrobats Ruth and Ella Myles performing graceful balances and contortions in the studio. They are both extremely supple! Both wear white swimsuits with black belts and tie and the neck. Their final feat involves one girl doing a back bend and staying in that crab position while the other stands on her pelvis and does a back bend there!

In the 1960′s, she said to her friend Raymond Daum:
“I’m sorry for a lot of things, for quitting things…. Actually, I’ve been out of order for years. It takes forever for me … to make a move. How can I do anything when I can’t even move from my living room to my other room? A friend told me, ‘You are like a mollusk!’
I didn’t know what it meant, so I looked it up – it’s an animal that doesn’t move, just sits there.” / text source: Garbo Forever
