| Description: | "NOT STARCHY! - Beauty Queen is chosen by Miss Enid Stamp-Taylor at Laundry Sports." Motspur Park, Surrey. The commentary suggests that this event is a series of competitions mostly relating to laundry activities, such as starching and sewing buttons. But it also includes the beauty pageant seen here, featuring one hundred and fifty girls wearing short pants (mostly white, but some dark ones) and short sleeve tops. They parade before the crowded stands. Miss Enid Stamp-Taylor, a film star [including a part in Hitchcock's Easy Virtue], chooses the winner. Miss Taylor, surrounded by girls, announces the winner and the girl smiles. Miss Taylor, with several girls standing next to her, congratulates the girl and has flowers for her. | |
