FILM FOLLIES THE HATS OF YESTERDAY Did you ever notice how the films keep up to date in women’s styles? Just think how your mother or grandmother would have looked in a Christie Comedy, had it been produced, say in the 60’s or even in the 80’s. Then do you remember the films which were taken about 1901 ? The funny hats the flappers wore? They all look fike comedies today. WHAT YEAR DO THESE PORTRAY? Dorothy Devore and Viora Daniel are wearing the headgear all the way from 1860 down to 1910. Dorothy is in the picture at the upper right, left center and lower left. Viora is in the other three pictures. Can you make out what period each represents? Women folks at home can probably give you a lift on this if it's too big a mental ' strain.
