Canadian Beauty Contest (1938)

Toronto, Canada. Various shots of a beauty contest - could be beside an open-air swimming pool - looks like it is at an amusement park. Gorgeous girls (most of them!) parade in swimsuits, carrying parasols and cards displaying their numbers. A large crowd watches from a spectator stand. The girl who wins the title of ’Miss Toronto 1938’ is Dianne Perkin, a cute brunette. She poses with the Mayor and is given a bouquet of flowers. The runners up join Dianne and the Mayor to pose for pictures. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
