(3 of 3). Further information from Rick Beazley: The original photo (1 of 3) was taken on the 17 November 1928 at West’s Picture Theatre in Hindley Street, Adelaide, South Australia. The new Silver Anniversary Buick was officially announced on the 31 October 1928 Australia wide. An article in The Advertiser (Adelaide) 17 November 1928 states that the first local Silver Anniversary Buick had just been sold and that “a Buick car will be taken on the stage at West’s Pictures today in connection with the ballet”. The photograph was published in the newspapers. The Advertiser (Adelaide) printed it on the 24 November 1928 with the tile “The Buick Ballet”. It states “the clever ballet at West’s Pictures has scored a success this week with a novel specialty in honor of the Buick Silver Anniversary”. The photo was used again, slightly modified, in the Sunday Times (Sydney, New South Wales) on the 23 December 1928 with the title “Demonstrating The Fine Points of Buick”. The comment reads; “a bunch of beach girls giving the new Buick Silver Anniversary the necessary summer atmosphere. The girls gave the Buick a good kick-over, after its announcement in Adelaide, and used the car in their turn on West’s circuits”. Probably need to point out that November and December are summer down here, hence the bathing costumes ! (Also see pictures 2 & 3).
