Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: It’s Toy Time. DESCRIPTION: Toy time is here! The season of dreams-come-true, with magic in the window. Set-piece displays, like these French pirates, fascinate young (and old!) window-gazers. Then, there’s Nautilus, and some unexpected highlights of Polar exploration. Or elephants, blowing bubbles. And there are animals of every description and many other toys. SHOTLIST: GV window display (2). CU little girl. GV window display. CU child. GV window display. CU child. GV window display.
