Hollywood. (UP) — James Montgomery Flagg, the artist who glorified the American girl, blamed bobby-soxers today for undoing his life work.
Girls used to be luscious, he said dourly. Now they're plain indigestible.
"Everybody's laughing at American women," he said. "And why not? I'd laugh myself if I weren't so disgusted.
"A fine thing, when the most publicized American woman is the one who wears a man's dirty shirt, a sagging skirt and socks bagging around what pass for ankles.
"The bobby-soxers are running the American tradition of beautiful women."
The American girls Flagg draws are poised, serene and stately. They do not jitterbug, he said. They waltz to the buggy. And they are groomed to the teeth.
"I abbor sloppy women," he announced. "Teeth out of the comb, wrinkles in the stockings and hair everywhere — in the sink, on the soap, stuck in the hairbrush. And that's just the way they all are. Even my daughter. I can't tell her a thing."
Flagg, who just finished writing his autobiography, "Roses and Buckshot," came to Hollywood to paint a portrait of actress Rosalind Russell to illustrate her latest picture at RKO studios, "Sister Kenny."
Miss Russell, he said, was a woman of beauty and distinction. The kind who never would have been a bobbv-soxer.
"And I doubt that any bobby-soxer will ever grow up to be a Rosalind Russell," he added. "I sometimes doubt that any bobby-soxer will ever grow up. There aren't enough brains in the bunch to set fire to."
Not that brains mattered, he said. When he wanted intellectual conversation he'd go see a man.
"If women had an ounce of common sense in their heads, they would never dress like they do," he said. "The older women follow like sheep whenever a dress designer or a milliner dreams up a new silly fashion to make money.
"They lacquer their faces until they look like they would crack if a man touched them, they put rings on their arms like curtain rods and gold cuspidors on their ears. They fix themselves from head to foot in every possible seductive way and then they slap a man's face when he tries to seduce them."
"Every time I see a girl go bare-legged it reminds me of a raw leg of beef from the butchers' — and it's just as unappetizing. And that men's attire they affect — shirt and jeans
— is positively indecent.
"Do they know what every man — even a minister — thinks when he sees a girl go down the street in tight pants? He has an almost uncontrollable impulse to go up and slap her southern exposure."
