Red-Haired Census.
How many red-haired women are there in London? Blondes and brunettes have had it all their own way up to the present; the lass with the fiery locks has received scant attention. But all that is to be altereu, says a London newspaper. A census of redheaded women is to be taken and a permanent record made of their names. They will be invited to sign a book, which will later be sent to a famous Hollywood<i* star. The first woman to sign the book was Aliss Gracie Fields. The idea was originated by a film company, which is starring a red-headed actress in the leading role. “Where are all the red-headed women?” an official of the company asked. “There must be hundreds of them somewhere, but you never hear of them. Anyway we are going to try to find ou'-, and the register will eventually; be sent to Aliss Helen Twelvetrees. Other famous redheaded women whom we hope to get to sign the book are Fay Compton, Elsa Lanchester, and Alarjorie Alare.” The red-headed legion will be benefiting the Aliddlesex Hospital if they sign the register. The company has promised threepence to the hospital for every signature received.
