What vocal control and timing she has! Her performance in either play alone would be an impressive achievement. But her ability to undergo such a transformation during intermission is almost uncanny. And this is much more than a change of costume, makeup and wig; she does it through her posture, gait, gesture, diction and other ways. Through extraordinary muscular control, she is able to change her whole repertory of facial contours from those of a stunning beauty to those of an uncomely nobody. Genius is not a word to be tossed about lightly; but Miss Page has unmistakable marks...
Among the best of Da Costa's touches is the train scene: in a railroad car are nine traveling salesmen, some playing cards, others reading newspapers-the Wall Street Journal, selected by Da Costa as perfect for 1912 typography and makeup.

In World War II Washington politicians foolishly talked of abolishing the beauty industry for the duration to save materials. But wiser heads prevailed. (When Hitler banned makeup, the women of Germany simply refused to work.) The industry put its lipsticks in cardboard containers, found substitutes for strategic materials. One substitute: a cream type of hair tonic that is outselling the older oil type today. By war's end, sales of cosmetics had increased...
