From the Doll- 6 reels of film never made

Footage by Coni Beeson

silent

NOTE: I spliced the seven cores together onto one core.

The first scene is of a little headless ballerina spinning in front of a mirror. Then there is a quick image of a nude female body in water. The next set of images looks like it could be more outtakes from the Sir Lawrence dance film- here we see footage of a city and trees. Much of the middle of the reel contains footage of a woman dressed up as a doll. We see her painting her face to look like a doll, then she is placed in various contexts. These include an amusement park (which looks to be the Santa Cruz Boardwalk), a pool, a carousel, and a beach. There are also stills of the woman’s face. The last set of images contain footage of a woman with a bike. Sometimes she has an umbrella as well, sometimes she is in the woods, and sometimes in a house. She dances with the bike, and she climbs over a fence. Briefly we see three people at a picnic on the beach. The Golden Gate Bridge is briefly visible in the background.
