Hail The BrOwnetS! Hollywood Edict
Creates Type For ''In-BetWeen Girls

BY DAN THOMAS
NEA Service Writer

Hollywood - Hail now tne
brownet!
Fore years girls who weren't out
heads have been in quandry as
and out blends, brunets or red
to just how they should CLASSIFY
themselves.
But they have no more wor-
ries. Hollywood has solved the
problem for them, If girl has to
hesitate over her complexion
when filling out a drivers license
or passport application In the 1u-
ture all she has to do Is put down
"brownet."
Casting directors really are err
sponsible for this new classifica-
ton, although 1t was devised by q
Hollywood makeup expert. 1t all
came about because casting direc-
tors met with SO many disap-
pointments when casting pictures.
Looking through their blond files,
they would call an actress only TO
find that her hair really as a light
brown. And the brunei files con-
tanned the names of many actresses
who actually weren't genuine bru-
nets at all.
Something had to be done about
those in betweens, they decided. So
"brownet' was coined.
An Important Glass
According to statistics compiled
on Hollywood's actresses, brownets
outnumber red-heads by eight to
one. They are two and a half
times as plentiful as blends. And
they lead brunets by SO per cent
In other words, this new fourth
classification Is rather important
one.
Motion picture beauty experts
are of the opinion that this defi-
mite classification of brownets will
have very favorable reaction on
feminine beauty throughout the
country. 1t has been the in-be-
gone in for peroxide, henna and
other ingredients In vain at

Of the three definite classes.
However, most such attempts
have been failures because they
have robbed the girls Of q certain
naturalness.

also come into this new group.
In direct contrast to them, one
finds the true blends and genuine
