HALF OF FILM BEAUTIES FAVOUR BOBBED HAIR.

Although no great effort has been made to gather complete statistics, it is estimated that approximately 50 per cent of the film beauties still sport bobbed hair. A convention of hairdressers in the movie capital set people to wondering about the latest in that line, and a count revealed that long and short tresses now have about the same number of supporters. On the side of long hair one finds Loretta Young, Billie Dove. Louise Fazenda, Joan Crawford, Lila Lee, Rita Le Roy, Marguerite Churchill and Maureen O’Sullivan. The favourite style is a soft knot on the neck and rather flat on the sides. The bobbed hair contingent is headed by Natalie Moorehead and includes Kay Francis, Zelma O’Neal, Margaret Livingston, Dorothy Lee, Mary Astor, Virginia Valli, Marie Prevost and Dorothy Phillips. Natalie Moorehead has what is recognised as one of the most sophisticated shingled bobs in Hollywood. It is entirely individual, and is getting to be quite a Moorehead trademark in the picture business. Another famous bob is the boyish trim worn by Kay Francis in real Tife and in most of her pictures.
