The Seaside Eves (1925)

Begins with a poem in an intertitle: “They’re love-like, And dove-like, They’re Angels from above-like, They’re the joyous little Eves By the glad sea waves.“ A group of people (about 12 of them) sit on a raft in the sea. People swim and row small boats around them. M/S of several women lying in the sea. A small child walks in front of them, there is a large pier behind them - could be Brighton.

C/U of two smiling women, one sits on the pebbles and the other dries herself after a swim. A novel bathing costume is presented to the camera. It is black with a striped trim around the arms, legs and neck. “Strange how Adam will intrude, girls.“ Some girls sit on the beach - one is knitting. A man in swimming trunks and a vest sits with them. A woman is fishing off the side of the pier and reels in a small fat fish. Crowds
