MOVIE ACTRESSES
AND THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that
every movies actress you have
seen has lovely hair, while
the most popular count their curls
as their chief beauty? In fact,
(this is a secret, many are lead
ing ladies just because OF their
attractive locks. Inquiry among
them discloses the fact that they
bring out all the natural beauty
