Do you know the Olympic Promotional Movie (”žContributed to Public Instruction by THE WHITE STAR LINE“)? I have some questions about it…
The play played on the raised roof over the first class lounge, is it ”žbull ball“? And is the play played by the first class entrance ”žquoits“?
I noticed that one of the stationary bicycles in the gymnasium was black and the other white and so were the indicators on the clock. So I supposed that the white one showed the distance made by the white bicycle and the black one of the black bicycle. Am I right? Does anybody know, how long the distance marked on the clock-face has been? There are four points visible, but I am not able to read them.
In the reading and writing scene you can see a box filled with something that looks like White Star Line stationery (envelopes and sheets of paper). Is it known what exactly has been in? And how did the inkwells and pens look like?
In the next scene, the dining room, some of the men wear tuxedo with a black tie, some a tailcoat and white tie. Was there any rule about the evening attire?
The stewards wear black (maybe it is an other colour?) jackets, the stewards in the first class smoking room as well. But then, when passengers disembark in Cherbourg, you can see stewards wearing white jackets again, as in the Cameron’s Titanic. And the steward taking the passenger’s coat in the first class stateroom wears also white Did the stewards change into black every evening? Or did just the saloon stewards wear black?
When was the dancing floor made in the middle of the dining room, between the funnels? And where has the band been placed?
Does anybody know the names of the pieces during the movie and to which year exactly is the movie dated?
Thank you very much for your help,
With best regards
