Fashion and Bathing at Southport

Everyone is clearly having a whale of a time at Southport Bathing Lake, in this short and entertaining film. Appreciative applause greets the young women from the fashion and beauty parade, though for some, fun in the water is more to their liking - swimming, sliding and splashing, or grappling with the large Bukta ball, in an open-air pool designed to accommodate over 600 people.
