Platform Posture and Appearance: a short film from 1949

Here is another short from 60 years ago. Is your posture more like: a tired farm horse, a telephone pole, a rocking horse, or a turtle? The “knee test” for how to plant your feet may have inspired a dance called the Twist. In 1947 Ezra Christian Buehler wrote a textbook called You and Your Speeches. You can tell that we are in Kansas because Professor Buehler invites us to:
THINK TALL
TALK TALL
STAND TALL
WALK TALL
