1950s FASHIONS IN FLORIDA 16mm Film Warner Pathe News

[music] With winter at last in eastern headlines, the lucky look south to sunny vacations. Beth and Joan head for Florida's Boca Raton Club, looking forward to days of sun and surf and nights of music. [music] Tommy Armor gives Beth a golf lesson and Beth gives Tommy one in style. Her jersey dress has a striped bodice, rollback sleeves, and gored skirt. Joan's [music] sporting taste runs to tennis lessons from Fred Perry. Her fashion taste to comfortable sweaters. Because vacations are short and there's never time to do everything. There's dancing at noon as well as night. For South American rhythms, Joan wears a modern sari of linen. Beth a cabana sundress with a tiny jacket. After lunch and a nap, it's time to swim. Beth picks a knit tube suit. Joan, another strapless number with a ruffle around the skirt. Some guests like well-known theater owner J Meer Shine and Irving Berlin just want to relax. But the girls don't want to miss anything. And when it's cocktail hour, they're ready in other Margaret Newman outfits with the new hipline emphasis. That's straight from Paris. Then more dancing at night. Yes, a vacation's wonderful. And after it's over, all you need is a few weeks rest.
