Description:
Fourteen young women in bathing suits of the day (one- and two-piece) and high-heeled pumps stand side-by-side on an outdoor stage/boardwalk draped on the bottom by what is probably a red/white/and blue curtain. All but the plump one in the middle of the row have their hands by their side. The plump one in a horizontal stripe one-piece suit has her arm raised above her head and is waving, or has just thrown something out to the audience (which is not visible). On the far left in front of a microphone stands a smiling man in dark glasses, workshirt and slacks. The stage is perpendicular to a long, one-story building with a narrow railed porch running along the outside and trees showing behind it.
