LEAP FROG: Berkley Marsh sails over Ann Wakefield as Millkent Martin and Stella Gaire look on. Bet
Daddy’s
They look like flappers of
1925 but it turns out
to be a Broadway trick
The bevy of little bimbos cavorting hereabouts
are not all grandmothers today. In fact, they
are all chorus girls from “The Boy Friend,” a
Broadway musical that spoofs the roaring ’2o's.
Photographer Wolff enticed them out to a Long
Island beach to see how much attention they
would get in their fetching swim suits.
Only the older bathers guessed right about the
costumes. The younger folk thought they were
either Gay ’9o’s outfits or some horrendous new
style. Only the small children were unimpressed
they saw nothing unusual at all about the
costumes.
After these photos were taken, the girls went
in for a swim, but not until they’d changed into
their own suits. The costumes had been designed
for footlighl wear only one drop of water and
they’d shrink all the way down to the sire of
Bikinis! - C. D. R.
