  • TitleEden Musee workshop
  • SummaryFive wax figures and one woman in museum workshop. Caption: "With a charming lack of self-consciousness, the couple on the park bench ... continue their love-making, undisturbed by the frenzied-looking gent on the left with the pistol in his hand, the disheveled character kneeling at the right and the coy bathing beauty in the background. As a matter of fact, they share the same quarters in the workshop of the Eden Musee at Coney Island, where Miss Marian Ray (in smock) controls their destinies."
