Guest hairstylist Gilbert Bass demonstrates the latest style coiffure to hostess Marian Ferrel and Charm Studio audience. Charm is not only found in outward appearance, it also is a state of mind, an outgoing interest in other people . . . There's no such thing as a 'homely woman,' she is only lazy . . . Bring out the best of your natural attributes, and above all, keep the corners of your mind and mouth up." Many feminine video viewers in western New York State have had both their personality and spirit brightened by such advice from Mrs. Marian K. Ferrel, hostess of the Charm Studio on WBEN-TV every Thursday afternoon. She's a vivacious brunette, with sparkling dark eyes, a captivating smile and the knack of carrying on two successful careers simultaneously. To be specific, Mrs. Ferrel is both a model mother of two youngsters and an expert on personality improvement. Her advice has helped many a backward, bashful girl to transform herself into an attractive young lady, with plenty of poise to captivate the boys. In the Charm Studio spotlight, Mrs. Ferrel discusses proper care of skin, makeup, correct speech, hints on human relations, appearance, proper diets, figure-trimming exercises, hair styles — anything that may help a woman to acquire charm. When Mrs. Ferrel speaks on the art of charm she talks from personal experience. A graduate and star performer in the famous New York Powers School of celebrated American models, she eventually settled down as a housewife in Buffalo, where she now directs the John Robert Powers School of Charm. She's also in constant demand as a lecturer on the art of charm throughout western New York State. Mrs. Ferrel philosophizes that while not every woman is born with charm, anyone who will only take the time can acquire it. And personable Mrs. Ferrel practices what she preaches.
