Adrian Winchester's recent comment that Walton once issued Glamour had me delving very deeply into my archives for the Walton Glamour supplement (no date) which lists 33 short titles, one described as the first ONE-REEL Glamour Film, and "Great News for 16mm Sound Projector Owners! "Miss Bikini" 9 minutes at 24fps, priced £7.10s.
The main titles were available in Kodachrome colour and black & white on 8mm, 9.5mm, 16mm. Prices in colour 16mm 100' £6.10s, 9.5mm 100' £6.0s, 8mm 50' £3.6s. Prices in b/w 16mm 100' 37/6, 9.5mm 30/-, 8mm 50' 22/6.
Sample titles:-
Bikini Bathing Beauties Bikini-Girl World Contest Beauty Brevities Girlnastics The Sun-Worshipper At Home With Sabrina Good-Night With Sabrina
And many others with similar titles. Remember Sabrina? She was on Arthur Askey's BBC television show, I don't think she ever spoke, but she didn't need to!!!!!!!!!!
The one-reel special was "Ants In Her Pants" 10 minutes silent. Kodachrome 16mm 250' £16, 9.5mm 250' £15, 8mm 125' £9. Prices in b/w, 16mm £5, 9.5mm £4, 8mm £3.
Oh, for those happy and innocent days.
