NEW YORK WORLD FAIR.—The largest puppet in the world. Creatod by “Puppeteer” Remo Bufano, it represents a voodoo doctor in a production dramatising humanity’s search for health, an entertainment sponsored by the Hall of Pharmacy. It is certainly enough to warn off “healers” who base their work on superstition. HOLLYWOOD.—Perc Westmore, the famous Hollywood wig and make-up expert, looks a bit worried in this picture—and no wonder! He’s dealing with a load of trouble which came upon him when he revealed that he had to pay 1,920 dollars for 24 ounces of natural red hair from Czecho-Slovakia—or what used to be Czecho-Slovakia—in order to fashion a red wig for Bette Davis to wear in a new film in which she plays Queen Elizabeth. Since then Westmore has had 6,000 letters from American women protesting that they were all perfectly capable of supplying red hair, and most of the letters enclosed sample tresses! Here Perc is looking at one of the samples, while the wig model is on the right and some of the letters are on the desk in front.
