THE TELEVISION FACE
Not long ago I met a charming old lady of 98 whose ambition it was to live long enough to see television in daily use. But it has a few catches, I hear from a radio expert just back from England (states a Melbourne writer). It all depends on the face if you are to be a successful televisionist and look attractive at your end of the telephone he tells me. * Faces full of sharp contrasts will qualify you for television in the most flattering way, he says, but, however pretty you may be, if your nose is too flattened and your face too round, you will do better to dispense with this new invention. Make-up will help. If you wish to be your most attractive self for every telephone ring you will go to the phone with light yellow cheeks, black eyebrows, green eyelids, black eyelashes, brown lips, a dark yellow nose,/and full red inside nostrils. Is television worth this?
