| #12 The caption, which was on the first piece of the picture posted, said: "Jewel Pathe's bathing beauty pirates capture Vitagraph ships for 'Captain Blood,' Balboa Beach, California, June 15th, 1924" It was an inter-studio publicity stunt. |

| #10 You're right George, I should have said "pier or a dock". Thanks. |

| #7 Like wxjames, I also think the photo pose could be on a ship or pier near a dock. The girls look like a production or chorus group, out on a 'break', with their 'numbers' perhaps indicating their ranks or lineup positions. In any event, number '32' (1st left) would suggest that 22 of her group are either just out of pan range or had their shot taken separately! Most are wearing ballerina shoes, with a few, provocative high heel boots for the time, No. '10' (2nd left) is even bra less. Number '32' perplexed me with 'boxer boots' however! I have no idea what the 'black bird' or blue bird' wraps signify; but the picture seems to date back into the 1920's, unless of course the production is from a later era about the 'Roaring 20's'! One picture is worth a thousand words...they were right! |

| #5 They appear to be onboard a ship. That's it, they are the Somali pirates. What do I win ? |

| #4 So that's what "rolled stockings and round garters" looks like. |

| #3 I'm kinda partial to the one between "BlackBird" and "Bluebird". She's about the only one there that looks like she's having a good time. |

| #1 2nd from the left is my new favorite even though the girl on the far left reminders me of Myrna Loy. |
