We Mothers (Persil Advert)

A mother’s work is never done - as these two young girls playing at grown-ups have realised.

Two well-spoken young girls dressed in frilly white frocks play at grown-ups. They exchange news of their soldier husbands away at war, and young Mrs Green laments the challenge of keeping baby Gladys’ clothes clean. Mrs White reassures her that Persil washing powder is here to save the day, with “the whitest white wash”. Sadly, this film survives incomplete and the final few feet are missing.
