Summary
Pathe Intertitles - "Perhaps the recent cold weather influenced Phillippe & Gaston’s designer to make these evening gowns a little higher and longer -- (but with elaborate ornamentation)"
"Cloaks --- so gorgeously embroidered and trimmed that it seems a shame to have to take them off -"
"Ostrich feathers, also, assist this dainty gown on very straight lines ---"
Researcher Comments
A short handwritten shot list is present in the Pathé boxfile, as does a Frnech transcript which noted the footage as "Mode No. 101" dated 9 April 1924.
