Fighting Father Time - A Beauty Parlour Peep (1922)

A look into a way of fighting against “the ravages of Old Man Time“ in the beauty parlour. A woman lays back in a chair whilst a beautician gently applies face cream. Pads are then placed over the eyes. A thick layer of Kemolite is applied - radioactive mud from the Carpathians. Nice C/U of woman’s face covered with mud. The face pack hardens and the mud is then crumbled off. C/U of the woman admiring her wrinkle free skin in a hand mirror. She is a middle aged woman rather than a youngster.
