This film is from the West Yorkshire Archive Service collection and was made by Jewish tailor and amateur filmmaker, Alec Baron. It contains miscellaneous pieces of footage of a group of men and women who are having a day out at the beach, including a shot of an entertainment troupe called the `The All Star Bookable Cavalcade'. Alec's family were Russian Jews who escaped the troubles and set up a tailoring business in Leeds. Alec developed a keen interest in film and theatre and set up the first film society outside of London. His films capture family life and social events as well as educational and promotional style films made to encourage people to keep the Jewish way of life. A young woman walks down a main street towards the camera. Then there is a shot of her walking arm-in-arm with another woman and this is followed by panning shots of a river boat docked at the side of a jetty. The two women are sitting on deck waving as they leave the jetty; the first woman puts her hands over her ears.
