Lois Wilson getting her hair bobbed for the 1926 version of the Great Gatsby (which is unfortunately lost) -

That’s interesting! Oh, but Lois’s hair was so beautiful in Miss Lulu Bett! What a shame. I like the captions, though. I wonder if I got a crew cut would I develop unsuspected piquancy?

[Kitty]

She could have worn a wig if she really didn't want to cut her hair. I'm thinking the editors made up this caption for interest - creating. (is that a real term?) Wonder which magazine this came from?

[donnie]

Yes, that caption does sound a little contrived.

Here's an ad for Francelia in Blind Husbands with von Stroheim. Notice how the "von" is missing from his name. And what is a wonder play, I wonder?

Although not a photo, I'll place this here as it's related. Check out this cool clip from Blind Husbands. Francelia's character has a nightmare about Von Stroheim, who is attempting to seduce her under her husband's nose.

Wow, I'd never have recognized her.

This photo of Viola Dana is so ethereal and haunting -

[donnie]

Yes, indeed! That's a beautiful one.

Here she is cleaned up.
