1950’s Star Ledger photo of the Ocean Grove North End pavilion. There are no shorts, and the dresses are well below the knee. Can’t read the name of the movie.

1930’s Avon lifeguards before they had hyphens or women. But they were still by-the-sea. Star Ledger photo.

1905 Atlantic City. Sitting in the surf. The men show more leg than the women. How much did those wet wool bathing suits weigh? Star Ledger
From Hannah and her Sisters.
2020 update:

Girls without their summer clothes. July 2020 on the OG boards. What would Stokes say? But Cole Porter would understand. Paul Goldfinger photo
COLE PORTER WITH VINCE GIORDANO AND THE NIGHTHAWKS. “Anything Goes.” From the movie “DeLovely.”
I’m thinking the second line says, “Her Latest Picture”
Movie title: “New Jersey Premier” on the bottom; 2 words on the top?
If it is a Shirley Temple movie the only titles that make sense based on the size of to words are The Little Colonel or The Little Princess
The Strand is presenting a Shirley Temple movie, and it looks like three words to the title. Free popcorn for the answer…………
Many of those suits were actually rented for the day. Nice thought, huh?
