| Description: | MISSING 1/22/2004 THE ORDER OF THE BATH! London chorus girls frolic in swimsuits and American diving stars show their skill on a diving board. Barnet, Hertfordshire. Various shots of showgirls from the Prince of Wales Theatre in London frolicking about in swimsuits in the grounds of the 'Thatched Barn' - looks like a country club. (The Thatched Barn was a road house in Borehamwood, Herts, near Elstree Film Studios.) They leapfrog over each other, do handstands and play a game that involves catching a little ball in a cone-shaped cup. They then do some high kicks in a line, showing off their new telescopic swimsuits (ruched, stretchy material - and some of the most unflattering swimsuits ever!). Palm Springs, California, United States of America. At an open-air swimming pool we see swimming stars Ruth Jump, Majorie / Marjorie Gestring, Micky Riley and Dutch Smith doing some complicated dives from the board. The last three are introduced as Olympic champions. | |
