Women sanding a long curved thing; like a vertical section of cylinder; 1 woman kneels in middle; others lean over sides. Next; a bizarre shot of 3 women standing inside a circle that looks like Erector set. --some expressionist vision. CU woman's hand holding tool; which snips off rough bits of a sort of plank with rounded edges; wrapped in narrow strips of something. Back to scene of women's arrival; carrying suitcases; shaking hands with man. CU woman holding up & showing different sides of a little wooden toy cart. The parasol gang again; prancing in a row; twirling the parasols; hair in long ringlets. etc. Title frame: "Some are being demobilised." The 4 girls with parasols do the little dance step through garden; "conductor" steps up to them. Cut to shot of girls gathered around automobile; waving; while 2 men bend over looking at car. Car driving toward camera; with all the costumed girls riding in or on it - very crowded. More of "pas de deux" dance between 2 women; one in dress & one in male attire; breeches & long coat like the Blue Boy. Girl crouches; flutters fan. They step round in circle with little jete's. Women war workers; funny; silly. tool; labor | |
