Mystery Dancers

Two unidentified dancers and the leg of a third grace a French postcard.  I don't recognize the costumes as having come from the Moulin Rouge or Bal Tabarin.

Soviet Cancan

A rare Soviet-era cancan, with a glimpse of silk stockings.  Nothing too revealing though.  It wouldn't do to get the proletariat too excited.  The film is "Яков Свердлов"  (Yakov Sverdlov) from 1940.
