You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

Anita has the quintessential '20s bob here. I've seen some John Held Jr. illustrations where the flapper girl has that exact same cut.

Yes, that is a very quintessential hairstyle. But she blew her bubble upside down... :( Might that be why she looks so glum? ;)

Maybe, but I think that's how you are supposed to do it with pipes like that. That way it doesn't pop in your eyes!

That one's spectacular! :) Clara looks different here, doesn't she? And I love how the photographer used that extremely shallow depth of field.

It's amazing how a hairstyle will make someone look totally different.
