Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Brawny Buster, heavenly Hopkins Duo, at Water Follies. The Water Follies of 1942 is giving two more performances-tonight and Saturday night, in Maple Leaf Gardens. This colorful spectacle, a constant flow of swimming and diving mingled with music, stars Buster Crabbe, one-time screen Tarzan. Featured with him, and flanking him here, are the Hopkins twins-Marian (LEFT) and Virginia. There's also a beautiful singing diver, and plenty of comedy, including a nightshirt race, previewing the new wartime night fashions for men. Dancing after the show is free.
