Galveston Bathing Girl Revue (1925) A Galveston tradition from 1920 to 1932, the Bathing Girl Revue (later known as the International Pageant of Pulchritude) signaled the beginning of the summer tourist season. Events included two parades, with entrants wearing sportswear at one and bathing costumes at another. This nitrate film follows the 1925 festivities, with contestants parading down Seawall Boulevard and posing on the beach.
