Shirley Temple — tender, sweet little-girl hands
BY ANITA COLBY
Photoplay’s Beauty Editor and Feminine Director of Set* nick Studios
YOUR hands are showing . . . more than ever. We girls are so active nowadays. And the way our hands look is as important as ever to our over-all beauty. For they’re still the stuff of men’s songs, our hands; just as they were when they were “pale beside the Shalimar.”
Nail polish, I’ll have you know, isn’t any new fad. Oriental women used it years and years ago as a lure for men’s eyes. And in Hawaii, where they speak with their hands, the women, as rotund as it is their figure fashion to be, see to it they have the most graceful hands in the world. They move their hands as subtly and gently as if they were touching raindrops.
Hands do not have to be tapering and pale with almond nails to be beautiful. They need only speak of you and be groomed and graceful. Shirley Temple’s hands, for instance, are tender, sweet little-girl hands. Gene Tierney’s hands are as witty and elegant as she is. And Jennifer Jones’s hands are dramatic and expressive.
There’s Bette Davis, too. Bette’s hands are not unusually beautiful in a classical sense. But they definitely are one of her loveliest features because of the grooming
she gives them and the way she uses them to emphasize what she is saying. In fact, when Josef Karsch, world famous Canadian cameraman, who’s photographed the King and Queen of England and General Ike Eisenhower among other world famous, arrived in Hollywood, he wanted, above all, to photograph Bette and her hands.
You can make your hands important to your charm, too.
Don’t protest deprecatingly. Don’t murmur that your hands are scarred by domestic battles, that you must wash clothes and dishes, polish furniture and oil floors.
Martha Vickers helps her mother, Mrs. Frances MacVicar, with all of their household tasks but her hands are as beautiful as they were when she posed them for advertisements. Because she takes care of them, gives them as much thought and time as she gives her face or her. hair. Martha says, “It’s a good trick to massage your hands when you apply lotion, to massage them with good strong motions — from the wrist up into the fingers. This, in time, tends to make hands longer.”
Dorothy Lamour’s hands are none the worse for the heavy work she did when her husband was in service and she kept house over in (Continued on page 81)
