Winter Bathing in the West Indies (1910)
This film was made on Hog Island, across the harbor from Nassau, and shows the beach most favored by the fashionables who frequent that winter resort. It opens with a few feet showing the honeycomb rocks with the surf beating against the shore and then shows the famous bathing beach where the surf rolls in, unchecked, from the Gulf of Mexico. After a Gulf storm the waves are mountain high, but the picture shows the scene in its ordinary aspect with the bathers frolicking in the water. There is also shown the famous fruit lunch. The visitor may enjoy all the fruit he can eat for the shilling that also includes the trip across the harbor in the tender and the method of preparing the oranges and cocoanuts is shown in detail, the close of the picture being the departure for Nassau in the moonlight, a tinted scene of rare beauty. Under the southern skies the photography is superb and in every way the subject is a charming one, the introduction of some of the players adding life to the scene.
