Fun little newsreel story here about a rollerskating championship! Back then of course, Rollerskating was peachy keen, everyone was doing it.. The skating competition, opened by a local beauty queen has skaters of all ages and sizes, and some of these performers are quite good, rivaling their adversaries on the ice.
