About Luzon Lingerie
A Burton Holmes reel about embroidery in Luzon. A young Filipino draws the patterns. Others cut the stencils. Rows of women stitch the cloth. An American woman is shown directing Tagalog needle workers who finish lingerie, napkins, and draperies. Holmes edited and titled it. The closing title says the garments are made under the palms.
