Sutro Baths No. 2 - 1897

Another view of one of the sights of San Francisco, a 50-foot slide is used by the bathers, who toboggan down its slippery surface in all positions. The bathers are clad in black trunks, making fine contrast with the flesh tints.

In this second film, the figures are show larger. A springboard furnishes the bathers with much amusement; also a toboggan slide. A large indoor swimming pool is shown, as well as the walkways that separate the varying depths of the water, and a sign identifying the locale on the wall farthest from the camera position. In the immediate foreground, camera right. Produced by the Thomas Edison Company.
