Why Villains Are Always DARK
And All An0eLs Are Blondes

II ROFESSOR WILHELM Won LIGHT
ENSTETN, OF the University OF Der.
lin, has discovered why villains and
"villanesses" on the stage and in fiction
are always dark complexoned, with lus-
trous raven trcsses, and why in art all
angels are blonde.
Professor Won Lichtenstein starts right
out by saying that there ia gruond for the
first belief but none for the second. All
angels may be blonde, but all blondes are
not angels.
In the earliest ages man associated all
nlalign powers with darkness says the
Professor 1t was in darkness that the
cave tiger sprang upon him and In the
darkness that the enemy sought him in
his rocky lair. And go he gradually grew
to think of evil as darkness. Conversely
it was in daylight that he was most Sc
cure. The yellow sun, blonde luminary,
brought him warmth, comfort and life.
So the primitive mind shaped the belief
that evil things were dark-brunettes, and
that good things were light--blondes
When man began TO personfy evil. to
write OF evil men and women and put
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-03-09

them on the stage. he made them dark
simply because he followed the ancient
line OF thought.
But, says the Professor, 1t Is also true
that there arc more wicked brunettes
than blondes. The brunette Is chemically
different from the blonde. His liver does
not functionate so we'll and he is more
a victim OF autotoxins. These auto
toxins disturb his or her brain and lead
them TO wickedness.
For exactly the same reason that Satan
was made a brunette aud the Prince OF
Darkness, the angels have been always
pictured as blondes and vessels full Of
light" There can be, are, and ought TO
be good brunette angels, says the Pro-
lessor for some Of the greatest villains
and "yillainesses" in the world have been
blondes.
"In my opinion" concludes the Profes-
sor "the really fatal women are fair
women. I do not mean the fair-heired
woman, with complexion OF milk and
roses and pretty blue eyes, but the blonde
chin. sharp, and acid looking"
