Eve, unlike the Leopard, can change her spots when a long fringed silken shawl or Batik pyjamas of tigerish aspect entice Batik pyjamas with a tigerish charm are presented to the audience. A model with her back to the camera displays a decorated shawl whilst facing her friend. It looks as if she has nothing on above the waist as she unwraps the shawl from her shoulders and holds out her arms. (Hence the title ). This may, or may not have had lesbian undertones at the time but certainly could be used to suggest 1920s lesbians now. Safety print exists. FILM A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
