Famous artists tell why the feminine right is the least charming.
Two interesting exam, pies of left limb perfection Above, Kathryn McGuire, and right, Shirley Mason.
DO YOU put your best I ioot or — er, leg — forward ? Frankly, do you know which is your best foot or — er, leg?
This is a question that has been baffling movie stars — and their directors, of course.
Which is it to be, in the interests of beauty, the right or the left leg?
World-famous artists are divided on the question. The movie studios and the ateliers of celebrated illustrators have been shaken by the discussion which was started by Movie Weekly.
But now the vexatious problem has been solved and no girl can say we have left her in ignorance.
For here is the verdict :
The left leg has it. It has the lure, the enchantment and the beguile. The right leg was only a poor second in the voting.
Here is Howard Chandler Millet's witty comment : "The divine right, Madame, Mais, oni, but the diviner left. For notice, please, that in all existing portraits of Ninon de Lenclos, it is the left leg that is, er, exposed and not the right. And, if I may be permitted to use slang, Ninon knew a thing or two."
James Montgomery Corot is also all for the left leg, if he doesn't mind our saying so. "The left leg is the more beautiful. Why ? Now don't ask me obvious questions. Statistics prove that the dainty left leg is slightly smaller than the more muscular right. It is a trait handed down to us by our ancestors. For which we ought to be thankful to the old dears."
Penrhyn Raphael insists on being a horrid iconoclast by shattering all our illusions. Listen to the devastating Penrhyn : "If you want my frank opinion, there isn't a pretty leg in the movies, either left or right. I shall probably be barred from Hollywood for saying so, but the legs on the screen aren't one, two, three compared with the legs of the amateurs one sees on the beach."
So there, girls !
Harken unto Nita Naldi, the wise woman : "Girls, rouge and powder your knees.' You rouge and powder your faces, don't you? And so why not the knees? You never can tell when the street car step will be too high. And you never can tell when it is going to rain in California."
