| Description: | EVE'S WIRELESS Women outside use "portable wireless phone" to communicate with a girlfriend at home. A new invention - a cross between a mobile telephone and a walkman. United States of America 2 women (twins! or at least sisters), in winter coats and identical hats, come walking down city sidewalk toward fire hydrant in FG. (By the way, there's been some serious snow here. Sidewalks have been shovelled and snow piled up along side of street c. 4 ft high!) Anyway the women stop at the fire hydrant and bend down to look at it. MCU one woman holds small radio while the other wraps wire round the bolt on top of hydrant. Then the one holding the little box turns a switch on it. MLS the women stand there with the radio hooked up to the hydrant; one of them puts up umbrella. MS one woman hands to the other an earphone connected to the radio; she holds it up to her ear. At home, another woman stands in front of a much bigger box with various dials etc.; she holds a thing like an old-fashioned telephone receiver and talks at it; she's also wearing headphones. The woman turns to left and puts a record on gramaphone, holds the microphone/ receiver up to it. CU the 2 friends on the street; one listening, the other talking animatedly to her or to film crew.
