Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Henley Regatta (Eastman Colour). DESCRIPTION: It’s one of the big events of the Summer season, and one of the most attractive, too. For many who go to Henley, it’s a leisurely affair, with a bit of watermanship thrown in. Fashion comes into the picture, of-course, and for the ladies Henley is another opportunity to wear something new and expensive. But the men of the moment have work to do. Heats to get through on the way to the final, they hope, and victory. In an early heat of the Thames Cup, Harvard (beating Isis) set a new record. SHOTLIST: GV boats racing (2). MS woman punting (4).
