Summary

NoS Summary - Fashions are displayed for the clientele of the Cafe de Paris.
British Pathe synopsis: "Filmed at the Cafe de Paris". High angle shot of a staircase leading onto the dance floor of the Cafe de Paris. A band plays and a woman stands at the bottom of the staircase describing the outfits as the models walk slowly down the stairs. "The very approving lady near Eddie Gross-Bart’s Band, is Miss Ursula Jeans." Various shots of models walking around the dance floor in elegant evening dresses. Low angle shot of people on the balcony looking down and laughing. "The back is distinctly striking in this model." Woman walks up the stairs - the back of her dress has thick crossed straps. Shot from behind a couple in a box, the woman holds a pair of lorgnettes. A sparkly evening gown is modelled. "Glittering and plain, chic and alluring in line and style, evening frocks to make Milady’s eyes glitter." The models parade up and down the steps.
