A NEW HAIRCUT.

Mary Pickford has a new haircut, designed especially for her role as the belle of a little Southern town in her picture version of the Broadway success, “ Coquette.” The bob is close-fitting and helmetlike in its adherence to the contour of Miss Pickford’s head. Its soft, wide waves end in tiny “ beau-catcher ” curls. The hair is parted on the left side and waved softly in wide finger waves. The ends of the hair are* shredded so that they will curl naturally into close-lying tendrils. The neck line is indefinite, and the hair is brushed upward to form soft curls at the nape of Miss Pickford’s neck. The hair falls in natural waves to frame her face with an occasional “ beau-catcher ” curl to add a dash of piquancy. When Miss Pickford first cut her hair, she decided upon a medium long bob which did not entirely abolish her famous curls. Then she decided to put in talking pictures the dramatic story of the little flirt who danced into tragedy. For the role of the gay little coquette, she needed an ultra modem and vivacious bob. With the aid of Nina Roberts, chief hairdresser at the United Artists studio, Miss Pickford evolved the “ Coquette ” bob The world-famed Pickford curls are gone, but in their place is a smart, chic and girlish haircut, which is serving as a model for the bobs of the girls and young women in all the cities where “ Coquette ” is being played.
