Headnotes! (1939)

No soundtrack for this item. Titles read: “HEADNOTES!“ First part of this item is mute version of first part of HEADNOTES - see separate record for details. Story shows hairstyles designed to be worn with military hats. What follows is excellent footage of a woman applying some ’liquid stockings’ to her legs. Sequences starts with brief shot of two hand puppets. M/S of 2 pairs of stockings lying on a table. A woman picks them up and tosses them away; fade into same shot, with several pots of dark cream on the table. A pretty girl looks coyly at the pots. We then see a woman mix some of the potion with some water in her hands and apply it to one of her legs. She is sitting at a dressing table and wearing a satin robe. C/U of a girl’s legs; she is wearing shorts and fabulous wedge-heeled sandals (shot is probably showing that the ’stocking cream’ can be used as a fake tan). Great C/U of a woman’s lower legs as she draws a line up the back of one of them to look like the seam of a stocking
