Water, Hollywood, California 1918 DD1850 Costume Sleeveless maillot skirted pantaloon. Shoes and rolled down stockings. Hat. L. Actions Like in years to come, Hollywood's movie stars pose in swimsuits that please their fans. This maillot skirted pantaloon has a legline just above the knee, and stockings rolled down just below the knee (1). Commentary Silent film actress Dorothy Dalton began her career in vaudeville and moved to Hollywood and made her film debut in 1914. Compared to some of her contemporaries (e.g., GS1740), this picture doesn't show a lot of leg, but Dalton does have a great smile. Source Daniel Blum, A Pictorial History of the SIlent Screen, G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1953, p. 167. 1 picture. |
