Full description

Landscape backglass in a wooden frame showing a beauty contest at a seaside hotel. A pale-yellow curved grandstand fills the right, with two tiers of mint-green boxes carrying scores: 1,000 to 9,000 on the lower tier and 10,000 to 90,000 on the upper tier, in red or yellow numerals. Title in red script with white dots, a green 'Bally' logo above it, and two yellow pennant flags on poles. At left, a tan building with a three-reel counter reading 000 and two palm trees. In front stand eleven women in a row in swimsuits, of various colours, hair black, blonde and red, hands on hips. Below each stands a blue wedge numbered 1 to 11 in yellow, fanning around a semicircle with water at the bottom. Faint small print at the bottom edge. Some paint loss and silvering on the glass.
