LONDON APPLAUDS
robson in PLAY

LONDON amp Finding time
to sandwich in an appearance in
the title role Of 'Toussaint Lou
venture" a first play by a young
West Indian Negro, Paul Robson
added to his laurels last Sunday
night. The production was spon-
sored by the Stage Society of Lon
don.
A drama by c. L. R. James on
the rebellion of San Domingo
slaves at the enc of the 18th cen
fury, the play held the attention
of an appreciative audience despite
certain unevenness of writing
and production, and Robson re-
ceived a huge ovation after the
final curtain. The famous singer
and actor far outshone the large
cast recruited from both races.
The play may be seen again if
Robeson's anticipated Negro roper
tory theatre in London becomes a
reality. He declared he wants par
ticularly Negro plays by Negro
playwrights as previously such
drama has been written almost ex-
ciusively by whites.
Robson managed to find a spot
for "Toussaint L'Ouverture" with
difficulty along toward the end of
a very successful concert tour of
the British Isles begun immediate
ly following his return from Holly
wood where he made "Showboat. !"
He is soon to appear in 2 British
film named Song of Freedom"

II know a family in which each
daughter, when about to be mar
ried, gives herself q shower at her

that only friends, not even rela-

the shower.

was going to have a baby she gave
herself a Baby Shower inviting

agree with you. This is the
most obvious bid for gifts Of which
I have ever heard. What a fan
taStic point Of view this family
has! There is only one step left
for them to take to enclose
with the invitation a list OF the
gifts that they wish to have their
guests bring to the shower.
No wonder is 1t that their

the showers. and regret" doesn't
seem a strong enough word. Is the

all know types whose faces really
need the softening wave or curl
about the hairline either to tone
down a too-prominent feature or
to give a more balanced outline to
the head.
When the forehead is high and
the face is large, the combed-back
effect will not be in proportion
to the features. The lower part
Of the face will have a heavy look.
The hair is one of the real femI.
nine points about every girl, and
we should not wear a style that
tends to make it too severe and
unimportant. When we really
study our own faces, we will learn
to make the most of our hair and
also bring out the best contour of
the face.

was all there was to it.
There were the fancy ringlets
over the ears and many curls, but
everyone wore the same styles,
and they lasted for a generation.
It took the hairstyliStS Of this
age to wake us up to the import
ance of changing the couture
with each change of fashion We
now follow the vogue in hat
styles.
This, however, is a muted ques-
ton, as both the milliners and
hairstylists claim leadership, so
we intend to let them settle that
by themselves. There are other
influences besides hats, such as
national affairs and the popular
movies.
Just at this time there is a
flair for the Juliet curls and cap
that have been revived by the
beautiful Norma Talmadge, in
Romeo and Juliet"
SEASONS STYLES
This seasons motif is the off.
the-face style. We have been
working up this fashion for some
time, by first leaving the fore
head bare. Then the hair was
worn with only a few curls about
the ears, and finally we have
arrived at the period Of every
thing back from the face for
fashion.
All formal styles are supposed
to be we'll off the neck and the
ears are exposed. Every hair
stylist may have his own method
OF executing the styles, but the
general rule is to part the hair
either in the center or on the
side; then comb it up on either
side Of the part and finish the
ends in ringlets.
They are sometimes done in
a continuous row so that when
they are combed out they form
a roll around the head.
Other variations are done in the
same upward sweep, but the ring
lets are laid in broken lines, giving
the effect of several rows of curls.
The general idea seems to be to
show the whole face without any
attempt to soften the hairline
about the face or on the neck.
There is again a distinct urge
on the part of all hairStyliSts to
cut the hair as short as they dare,
and have everything to work with.
We have even seen home hair
dreSserS using the clippers on the
backs of necks.
This is always a method that
should be left in the barbershops.
Never let anyone shave your neck.
It takes more time to make nice
soft feminine hairline, but go to
hairdrsser who knows how to
do that kind of air-styling.
There are extremes in fashion
that seem odd at first, and later
on when we have grown accus-
toned to them are more pleasing
to the eye; this will be the effect
of most of the changes in hair
styles, but this severe back-off-the
face style will always be trying to
some girls.
