Boat, Hollywood, California 1917 GS1740 Costume Maillot skirted pantaloon with stockings, shoes, and a hat. Boa. TL. Armpit. Actions An 18-year-old Gloria Swanson casts a revealing silhouette as she stands on her tip-toes in Teddy at the Throttle: hat, boa, strappy shoes and socks, and a sleeveless skirted tank maillot that bares all the leg and the armpit (1). Commentary Yes, that's Teddy at the throttle. When you compare Swanson's swimsuit to some of her peers, you can see why she has a leg up on the competition (DD1850). Source Publicity still from Teddy at the Throttle, Mack Sennett's Keystone Comedies, 1917. 1 picture. |
