Summary
NoS Summary - girls in swimsuits give elephant a bath then have a game of croquet.
British Pathe synopsis: Rosie the elephant has a bath - all five tonnes of her. C/U of a woman in a bathing suit and hat using a massive file to give the elephant a pedicure. Two other women, also in swimwear, assist. The elephant stands up on her hind legs and the girls give her feet lots of attention. We see this in L/S and there is a large palm tree in the background. Rosie and the girls have a game of croquet. The elephant hits the balls with its trunk.
