Gloria Swanson on the cover of Photoplay, September 1928. Check out the featured story - "Why Mary Pickford Bobbed Her Hair"!
Oops! Looks like the photo didn't attach! I want to read that story! Haha

That's an interesting one—strange background. Yes, it was national news when Mary bobbed her hair!

Mabel Ballin on the cover of the June 1922 issue of Photoplay magazine, painted by Rolf Armstrong. I've never heard of her before.

That's a new one for me, too. It's amazing just how many actors and actresses there were from the silent era that are completely forgotten today.

I read up on Mabel, and she was the leading lady in Riders of the Purple Sage (1925) and the lost Vanity Fair (1923). She also played a small role in the also lost Mae Marsh picture The Glorious Adventure (1918).

She's got my hairstyle! Although it's a bit longer now... Can't get a hair cut right now!
