7 Faces Of Dr. Lao

Great artistry for the coloring contest for the movie "7 Faces of Dr. Lao". There were only a few movies that all of us kids (my 3 brothers and I) would sit down together and watch. I can think of three at this moment - 1) Father Goose with Cary Grant , 2) The Bridge On The River Kwai, and 3) 7 Faces of Dr. Lao. Tony Randall is terrific in this movie. From Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide - 7 FACES OF DR. LAO (1964) Directed by George Pal. Starring Tony Randall, Barbara Eden, Arthur O'Connell, John Ericson, Kevin Tate, Argentina Brunetti, Noah Beery, Jr., Minerva Urecal, John Qualen and Lee Patrick. Engaging fantasy of Western town brought to its senses by parables performed by mysterious traveling circus; tour de force for Randall, who plays six roles. William Tuttle won special Oscar for makeup creations. Based on Charles G. Finney's novel, The Circus of Dr. Lao.

If you only know Tony Randall for his comedic work, then you must see this movie - he is so good in the many roles that he plays. It is clear why the makeup artist won an Academy Award for his work in this very strange movie. Also, I have always liked Barbara Eden.

INSPIRATION by Juanita Hamel appeared in newspapers in February of 1923. "Any birthday, so 'tis said, ought to be a day of reckoning up of past performances and a planning of better thoughts and finer deeds. How much greater then, is a memory-filled birthday--a nation mirroring hour - when, looking on the pictured face of such a man as LINCOLN, one beholds within the kindly eyes an inspiration. The inspiration which fills the heart with hope, even such a hope as that he - seen in the witchery of the dream-haunted fire, he whose arms are always stretched toward her - will strive in his small way forever to be worthy of her and her ideal!"

CRINOLINE CUT-OUT NOVELTY by Emma McKean appeared in newspapers in February of 1963. "In the days of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, whose birth we commemorate this week, young ladies dressed differently. This was a time of crinoline skirts and petticoats, and flaring bell-shaped dresses. If you'd like to see how little girls dressed then, paste the diagram above to thicker paper or thin cardboard and cut out the doll and apparel. Color dress, hat and parasol neatly with whatever colors you wish. When you are ready to dress the doll, place costume over figure and bend tabs back around her. Using scissors or a sharp knife, carefully cut along dotted lines of hat and parasol. Slip hat down over doll's head and slide parasol over her arm.

While it doesn't seem likely that the style of early American dress worn by this doll will come into fashion soon again, crinoline-type petticoats have made a come-back in recent years."
