Miracle of Surgery Gives
Ex-Convict Fresh Start
"Mystery Woman" Given New Face in Two
Hours at Public Demonstration. Rogues Gal
leries in Danger ot
" -:- , - zS-"-- Tr
i " :
To the muted music of a ttringed orc:tra, playing the latett
popular dance tunes, 1.C00 astounded persons recently witnetsed a
miracle of plastic surgery at the International Association cf Beauty
Culturists convention in New York. A "mystery omn(" said to have
served twenty years in prison for killing ter husband, was th subject
of the operation. It was explained that the woman, after her release
from prison, found it impossible to make a Hiring owing to her being
recognized by the deep lines of tragedy which her long prison ordeal
had etched upon her face. Under glaring Klieg l.ghts the masked fig
ure of the woman reclined on an operating chair in full view of the
huge audience, while Dr. Howard Cram, famous plastic surgeon, de
stroyed her old face and actually sliced twenty years from her life
with his glittering scalpel. The operation took two hours, at the end
of which no one in the audience would have recognized the patient as
he same haggard figure who had sat down in the chair. The demon
stration .brings up the alarming possibility of the new surgery being
taken up by members of the underworld whose faces have become
embarrassingly familiar to the police. In that event the extensive
rogues' galleries maintained by the police departments of our big
cities will automatically become as obsolete yesterday's tabloid.
New York A new scheme has
been added to the repertoire of our
criminal clement by the recent re
markable demonstration of plastic
surgoty, performed before 1,000 per
sons, mostly women, at the conven
tion of the International Association
of Beauty Culturists in New York.
Those cf our gangsters whose faces
are becoming embarrassingly fa
miliar to the police may now discard
the old face and acquire a new one
in less time than it takes to have a
tooth extracted. A thus may go un
der the ether with a pan that re
sembles a batered ashcan lid and
come cut with the profile of a Jchn
Barrymore or a Clark Gable.
To the soothing music of "Sweet
and Lovely" and "Call Me Darling."
Dr. J. Howard Crum, famous plastic
surgeon, aided by two assistants and
a nurse, built up a new face on a
woman who had voluntarily sub
mitted herself as a subject for the
demonstration.
The woman, whoso identity was
concealed by a mask, did not ofi'er
herself as a sacrifice in the cause
of fair science. Iier story is a stranpe
one. It was crplained that site spent
20 years in prison for killing her
husband, and rince her release has
tried several times to make a living
operating beauty shops.
Fhc always failed in her enter
prises because the acid cf trrgedy
had etched indelible linos upon her
fiice which invariably led to Iicr be
ing recognized.
Wiiitc masked and c.athod in
white cloth,' the mystery woman re
clined upon the operating chair un
der the glare of powerful Klcig
lights while Dr. Crum literally sliced
twenty yerirs lrom bcr me wan a
glitcring scalpel.
For two hours and seven minples
there, while the orchestra went cn
the mrgeon calmly went about hi;;
work, cutting here and stitching
