With the utmost respect for MrCheese (IMO the most important source of Vintage Beauties anywhere), the last three pictures on Section 1 are not connected with Vera Zorina. They are from the San Diego Exposition of 1935.
Link here: http://public.csusm.edu/becht004/1935expopage.html

(At that time Vera Zorina was with the Ballet Russe in Monte Carlo and London and didn’t come to California until 1938.)
Part of the Exposition was a crowd-attracting “Nudist Colony”; there were arguments about the 'nudist' girls on display – if they were actual nudists or showgirls hired by the promoters.

In any case, the nudist colony was called Zoro Park, and the girls referred to as “Zorines”, hence the confusion with the magnificent Vera Zorina.
Hope this helps.
