ow To Tell
Except to Themselves The Bow and the Carol
By Ann Cummings
THE fans write that they often get 'em mixed up, and what shall they do about it?
Some of the girl fans don't quite know whether they're wearing a Carol haircut or a Bow bob. Some of the boy fans are confused as to whether it's Clara they've fallen so violently in love with or Sue. Imagine their embarrassment !
The critics, writing about Sue Carol, -find it saves them a lot of brain fag just to say, "She reminds one of Clara Bow," or to cry, "Another Bow !" and let it go at that. The girls themselves express great admiration for each other, but admit that they can't see the slightest resemblance. They may both be flappers, but they have tntirely different ways of flapping.
A humorist once wrote a treatise on Hozv to Tell the Birds From the Wild Flowers. This article is written in the hope of helping puzzled fans to tell Clara from Sue. The first suggestions we would make is for the fan to read the announcement over the front of the motion picture theater carefully before going in. If the electric lights spell "CLARA BOW IX LADIES OF THE MOB," it is practically certain that the girl in the picture will be Clara Bow. So far as we know. Sue Carol has never doubled for Clara. If, however, the sign announces, "SUE CAROL IX WALKIXG BACK." there is almost no chance that one will see Clara playing a bit in the same picture.
If the girl fan in search of a movie haircut takes a picture of her favorite star to a barber shop and asks for a bob exactly like the one in the photograph and the barber exclaims violently, "It just can't be done, lady. There ain't any such bob,'" she may safely conclude that it is a picture of Clara Bow's amazing crop. If, on the other hand, the barber gives her a boyish bob with all sorts of cute little tendrils cropping out around the face and a great shock of hair atop of her head, it's undoubtedly a picture of Sue.
