Summary
Pathe synopsis: Among the novel ideas to be seen at this year’s Toy Fair is a little girl’s make-up set which can be applied and then eaten. For boys there is a water and compressed air-propelled rocket which can reach a height of 100 feet. Old favourites, like train sets and motor cars, still hold their own, and there is a rocking horse which can be used to teach its young rider the rudiments of horsemanship.
