Stupendous wigs and hats are modelled - they really are amazing. A man sits with two women at a round table with a large candelabra in the middle. They drink a toast to each other. The women, who we then see in C/U, look most peculiar. One wears a ginger wig - very big hair. I suppose it could be her own hair but it is huge! The other woman wears a hat of white feathers with coloured jewells scattered over it. On the top there is a little model bird - bizarre! Nice C/U of woman grasping man's hand which is placed on the table. She wears green nail varnish. C/Us of the other woman looking at the menu.
A third woman appears. She is wearing another bizarre hat which has white bows on top and a large jewel at the centre with drop pearls. She looks through a pair of opera glasses. Chauffeur waits outside a building, woman emerges with another mad creation on her head. Very long feathers emerge from the top - don't think she will be able to get all that inside the car... Nice low angle shot of the woman as she poses outside the building.
Various shots of woman having her hair brushed and her head measured. For a wig or hat fitting presumably. C/U of wig fitter's assistant (who has a terrible hairdo) making notes. Various shots of the wigmaker gluing hair to a net. Another man arranges feathers in the headdress seen in the section with the chauffeur. Freddy French glues feathers on to a moulded head piece. Shots of pink dye being applied to a wig then curls being pinned.
Marcel Portman, Freddy French, David Gwyn Rees and Ivor Hill are the hair stylists and milliners in this item. Philip Treacy should have a look at this one!

From well-constructed and contrived quips to completely natural and seemingly spontaneous comments, there's something fascinating about people's last words.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
