frnTD'AY, 'APRIL l(lim "EVENING HEKALP, KTOTAH FALLS, OREGON ' PAGE NINE Why I'm Glad I Bobbed My ' Hair I It 'K" By AILEEN PRINOLB DONT suppose any other girl aver bad bar balr bobbed far the same rea on that promptoa ma to ubmll to th barber's mlnletrellon. Wbo on bin reached womanhood and baa been enteral yenre on the stage and before tba eoroou, appearing In various charactorlsatloue but alwaye with bar tomliilna "crown In I glory" In tba length and abun danoa that Natura tntnndod, for ona to aipoaa ona'a loclii to tin ahaarlnf procaaa la a atop to be taken only attar proluuud and prayorful consideration. I hesitated for a lone, long time, 1 eonaldarad tba aubjoci pro aod con, conanltad with frlonda, dlroo tora and mora acquaintance!, lis tened to all Uia atock argumente that haTa ever boon adranced, both for and against, and weighed tha question from .vory coneolvnble angle. Hamlet's problem, "to bo or not to be." oould not have been t greater coneern to him than waa mlna 'to bob or oot to bob" to ma. and I .aerclaod my tomlnlna prerogative and cbangod my mind often. Kveo attar raachlng a anal con elusion It waa with fear and trero Mini that I approached tha bar kara chair. Hut tba experience eqolpped ma to Imporaonata Maria Antoinette on tha acreen and I kape tha opportunity may ona day ka mlna. I know now bow aha fell when aha want to tha ulllo!:o. tt waa laaa than e month ago that I antforad Ue ahoara to touch nj lock, but alrondy I'm (Ud 1 til It. I'm a convert and my con' version waa complete. It "took.' Mr. Figaro may count ma among kla faithful cuatomera henceforth. Dal. I ropes I, 1 Joined tba bob bera for a reason peculiarly, oven uniquely, my own. Long and pa tiently aa llatouod to tho argu ments that wera poured Into my eara, and carefully aa I conaldered them. I wt- m tha end awayed by any n 'n giving my Indi vidual i to the bob. I don't wu idoratood aa try- tag to Inilu. -(.'..v any ethor girl. I am epaaklnii for myself only, and without tha reason that I eltall re eal later pleaae he patlont uat minute or two. stria I am not aura that I should bare lot my treeaea go. Moat glrla who bob do ao, I eup poae, becauaa they want to look younger than they are, or becauae It happens to be the etyle, or be cauae they are laxy. Now, I'm not , thousand yaara old and I hare no desire to be or to appear a day younger than 1 am really! 8o wipe that conaldoratlon off the i elate. And I am not auoh a alave to fashion that I feel bound to adopt ovary passing crate, every whim and fancy that affect othera. It'a aaay enough to follow tba crowd If you're willing to be Just a tot- lower, nut distinction comos only to tha loader of tho crowd, and the girl who la Individual enough to bf Independent. - a As to being lasy listen to thin t It 1 wore that I shouldn't be spend ing long, wonry hours In tho studio or ou the production lot whllo tha director orders scenes to bs shol over and ovor anulu. Tbero'e ro mance In film wor, end emartaln nmnt and fun, but, mutt of all, hard, rnUintloss work. Of course I know, too, that short hair ta a comfort In dunclng. It stays put While you are whirling about you are not In constant tor for leal your pormanont ware la at high tide and la oaatlng Its apray over your partner' sbouldars as well aa your own. nut It wasn't, even that tbat determined my de cision, nor yet the assurance of some ot the pro-bobbins tbat bobbed balr praventa congestion of the brain. I atruicgled along sev eral years without cutting my hair, and, aa far aa 1 waa able to Judge, suffered oo Impairment of my men tal faculties. Now. at Inst, to tell you why I did sacrifice my locks. It waa port ly becauae I waa getting a reputa tion aa a acreen vampire, and I bav a perfect horror of that My hair, you aca, grew very long, and to part It In the middle and brush It down oo both sides seemed the only way to dreaa It Tbat, of course, la the eeverest ot forma and II accentuated tha "vamp" Im proaslon. Whan I wasn't being mistaken tor a vampire 1 waa described aa "atatuosque, and here again tba plain, aovore dressing waa partly responsible. Now, I am not a Done or lonle creation 1 am not monumental In any sense. And I recoil quite aa much at the Idea of being pigeon-holed In plcturea, ot being typed, aa at tha thought of being made a "vnrop." I feel tbat my range la sufficiently broad to a'7, .-'Wr' ; It mm V 1 A U Justify ma in claiming versatility. I even have an ambition to play In a comedy rolo one day. All thing conaldored, It seemed to me that to part with my long batr would b a atep toward the complete attainment ot my goat to be an all-around woman In pic tures, fitted for any part. Oppor tunity came when I was asked to play the lead In Vltacraph'a "Wild Ore." There 1 bar the role ot Just a real American girl neither "vamplsb" nor "atatuosque." and 1 felt at once that my bobbing waa vindicated. 8o I'm glad I Perhaps bobbed hair baa other real merits than the one I have In dicated. I haven't meant to maka light ot tha reasons that prompt other glrla to uaa the aheara. I merely brushed them aald be cause ot that ona reason that waa uppermost In my mind. It la con ceivable that even without the am bition that controls me I might atlll have become a bobbee, Poa slbly. Wbo knows! ALGOMA Mr. nnd Mra. V.'
