- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: Over to the South Sea Islands to relax in the romantic sun-drenched setting we’re always dreaming about. Unfortunately dreaming is a far as we get, for this scene is no further west from London than Hounslow, and although the atmosphere is realistic enough, it is really the setting for Europe’s most unusual barber’s shop! Serviced entirely by lovely young girls in Hawaiian costume, the shop is an attempt to "get away" from the dull interior of the average barber’s shop that a man suffers in silence.
