Hollywood, Pacific Ocean, California 1926 MD2650 Costume Striped and solid tank tops and shorts (possibly maillot tanks), with belts. Bathing caps, heels.. TL. Hands on ankles. Actions The Marion Morgan Dancers lineup with left hands on the waist of the gal in front and right hands holding the ankle of the gal behind. The two left-over hands at the front and back of the lineup wave to us and everyone smiles. The touching adds in just a taste of the lesbian; furthermore this chorus line is not on a stage indoors somewhere, but wear bathing suits out on a beach. Commentary The Bikini Scientist observes that as the 1920s go into high gear that the bathing suit / dance costumes have moved beyond the French pinup maillot pantaloon. The silhouettes are tighter, more knit, with joined ensembles and belts. Armholes are defined by shoulder straps. Leg lines are becomming parallel with the crotch, muting pantaloon-ness. Source "The Marion Morgan Dancers during filming of...Almost a Lady, Metropolitan," 1926. Date confirmed by imdb.com and source of picture and credit is Lacy and Morgan, Leg Art, ibid. The picture stars Marie Prevost and Harrison Ford (a different one) and is a "Light romantic 'mistaken identity' comedy," to quote imdb.com. 1 picture. |
