BEARD WORTH £500
FILM ACTOR SUES STATE FOR LOSS OF HAIR. For the loss of his beaf d, which was , shaved off in a French prison, a Belgian film actor, M. de Nervy, is claiming £500 damages from the State. The! beard, a luxuriant growth, was of great commercial as well as aesth'etic value, M. de Nervy declared, because it enabled him to play important parts in which a patriarchal appearance was required. He bases his claim for compensation on the fact that while awaiting release after completing a sentence for fraud, he was sent by mistak£ to the penitentiary at Fresnes and subjected to the same regime as criminals who were required to be clean-shaven, instead of remaining simply under detention, as he was entitled.
