Tomorrow’s Question: “What were your feelings the first time you appeared before an audience in an abbreviated costume?” Asked of Dancers and Show girls. From 1938.
A very moral bunch of respondents.
What strikes me about these sorts of street interviews is how thoughtful and articulate people were. You can say these might have been edited (or even manufactured) replies, but just watch similar sorts of everyday interviews in the era of television, and it is evident there, too.
Alice knows what’s going on! Gene and Sonia sound distressingly naive.
What was meant by “friendship” then? Did it really refer to something nonsexual or was it euphemism here?
I love all the hats.
