This newsreel clip shows us a San Francisco hairdresser who specializes in weird dos involving the addition of things such as parakeet feathers, furs, and metal numbers. These are really weird hairstyles, folks, presented in a creepy, scary manner. Especially “The Leopard,” which is downright Evil. One of the weirdest newsreel clips I’ve seen.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ****. Weirdness: *****. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ****.
