| Description: | World War One; recreation at military hospital. "Wounded entertained." Silly stuff. First; a wounded soldier stands holding a crutch while a young woman in a flowing summer dress pins to him a skirt made of newspaper; a bunch of people stand behind him watching. CU she now is finishing a matching jacket. The soldier; a very masculine looking fellow; stands there smiling. Shot of the man in his newprint drag creation; w/ another young woman with a big grin. Nurses play a really funny; weird sports game - like they try to move small balloons across field by hitting them with thin sticks! Comedy. Well; it gives the wounded men some entertainment. | |
