Overview

Fresh from the West End stage, singer and comedienne Gracie Fields is snapped by photographers at the famous Herne Hill cycle track, where she presents a trophy to the winner of the women's cycle race. Shot by the newsreel company Topical Budget, the story is typical of the kind of 'light-hearted' magazine item involving women and celebrities of which the newsreels were so fond.
