Title, which is cutoff, reads “ Hollywood Variety.” A seven piece string section plays on the side of stage. The camera pans left, and a foot is sticking out from between the stage curtains. A completely nude blond woman steps onto the stage, covering herself with large feather fans. A fern is on the far left side of the stage. She dances slowly, concealing herself with the fans, till she drops to the floor. She flaps the fans like butterfly wings, and rises again. She strikes so more dramatic poses to reveal her body throughout the rest of the clip.
