S.O.S. FOR HAIRCUT

TOURIST SUMMONS BARBER FROM NEW YORK I TRANSATLANTIC JOURNEY (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 11 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. Arico, the hairdresser who was summoned from. New York to London to cut the hair of William Kenny, a hard-to-please American, lias embarked for America. He said: "All the fuss about Mr. Kenny’s hair has spoiled his holiday. He has been sick in bed, and will be glad to get home.” William Kenny travelled home on the same ship, looking well-groomed and happy. In all Europe, with its many luxurious halls devoted to the tonsorial art, there is not one hairdresser’s shop in which William Kenny will trust his head (said a recent “Sun” cable). William Kenny is an American, and he is slightly bald. Therefore he is not inclined to take any risks with his hair. He wants it cut just uto, but so far barbers here have rather let him down. When it comes to having his hair cut properly, however, William Kenny is not one to stick at expense—nothing is too good for his head. In despair, at last, of getting the real thing here, lie rang up a New York hairdresser on the transAtlantic telephone, and had a conversation which cost him £IOO. The barber has been summoned to London immediately, and William Kenny is dwelling on the prospect of a veal haircut at last, even if it costs him £1 a hair.
