CALLING LONDON!
VALERIE HOBSON is a popular English actress. When you see her play the femme lead in “Great Expectations,” J. Arthur Rank’s interesting movie version of the Dickens classic, she will win your admiration, too . . . Photoplay, alert to any and all film personalities in the news, decided to talk with Valerie via trans-Atlantic telephone. So, in a trice, we were chatting with her in London!
WHAT IS REAL BEAUTY?
How had she managed to keep wellgroomed and attractive in these times of shortages and hardships? Modestly she replied, not alone for herself, but for her countrywomen. Valerie told us that even a movie star, expected to maintain her glamour, cannot have special privileges. With soap products rationed, she, like all English women, must furnish her own soap when having her hair shampooed at the hairdresser’s. It’s the same with nail polish and nail polish remover . . . Cosmetics, although not rationed, are scarce. At the studios, make-up is kept under lock and key . . . We complain of high prices and taxes — but how lucky we are. There’s never been a time when we couldn’t buy cosmetics. During temporary shortages, we could change from favorite brands to other good ones. But in England, it’s still not a question of what women like best; it’s what they can get. On very little, Valerie states, they manage to present an almost unbelievably attractive appearance . . . “Have you noticed that the privations English women have endured during recent years has aged them prematurely?” we asked. Almost reverently, she replied: “In many cases, yes. To me, however, a woman is truly lovely only when she possesses beauty of spirit. I’m proud to say that, no matter what their ages, my countrywomen’s wonderful spirit is reflected in their faces — giving to their expressions a beauty which softens any aging effects the war's experiences and its aftermath have etched upon their faces.” This answer from lovely Valerie should give all of us American girls much food for thought in the future.
