Splashes (1931)

No title. M/S of a group of young people standing at the edge of an outdoor pool (Chiswick Baths according to paper records) and sitting on diving boards. Various shots of people diving in and swimming through the water. “These Belle of New York“ and “Geisha“ ladies make another good reason why so many people are anxious to become Cameramen.“ Girls pose around a fountain which features a lion’s head. Cheesecake stuff. Various shots of the girls as they lark around having a good time. High angle shot of the girls doing high kicks in the pool. “After the bathe a spot of exercise... and refreshments.“ Girls link arms and do high kicks on the side of the pool. We then see the girls doing handstands following through to “crabs“. They then do some cartwheels (still in their swimsuits). M/S of the girls all lined up with a man - possibly their director or choreographer. Camera pans across the girls - good shot as they are all smiling and laughing. C/U of one of the girls taking off her swim hat. T
