| Description: | ALL CHANGE Lillian Low, the star of "White Birds", making a quick change in the wings. Fairly risque "naughty" film of actress changing her clothes right in front of the camera! Great film showing Lilian Low - who stars in "White Birds" doing a lightening change backstage. Scene is supposedly just offstage, w/ scenery flats in BG; various items of clothing hang from here and there or are draped over a chair; a wheeled cart holds shoes and accessories; a dresser in a maid's outfit oversees all this. LS of Miss Low in sequined dress giving her hair a quick comb, w/ dresser holding up a hand mirror. Low turns and hurries to stage. She returns, taking off her dress as she walks. She stands clutching the dress in front of her until a stagehand comes along & slides a flat in front of her. Shot from above looking down at Miss Low changing: she has no top on yet but her back is to camera. The dresser helps her slip the halter top over her head. LS from front as stagehand pushes flat off to rt. Miss Low puts on a short tutu made of long feathers, and a headdress of more long feathers - maybe supposed to be an Indian outfit. She returns & changes into a chicken costume- - sort of a bikini made of white feathers. MCU she puts on a matching cap. Weird "special effect" shot of Miss Low doing a chicken inspired dance on stage - but the proscenium looks very fake - it's just a frame around the film. Cut to shot of dresser straightening costumes. Cut back to the chicken dance. Speeded up footage of Miss Low changing from one costume into another. | |
