Men modelling clothes.
15:04 ‘Men Mannequins filmed for the first time!. Work in the office could be picturesque if the sterner sex would wear artificial silk shirts and shorts, suggested recently by Lady Rhondda’. Three men sitting in living room, drinking tea, wearing coloured silk shirts and shorts.
15:37 ‘Attired in this office wear, these men show how bright colours would relieve the drabness of the City man’s clothes’. Two of the men, both holding pipes, shake hands, and one walks off. Remaining two in the living room - both walk off.
16:07 ‘For business or sport these Celanese suits are equally suitable’. Two of the men, now dressed in white tops and shorts (for one) and trousers (for the other), sit in the living room holding tennis racquets. They shake hands and have a cup of tea. They leave with their racquets.
