Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated February 4, 1960 reads, "Tears well in eyes of Kevin Heerdt, center of left picture, as barber Jack Rider of Toluca Lake snips into previously uncut locks of curly hair. Kevin's 17-month-old twin brother Keith takes it all calmly until Rider announces, 'You're next,' center, picture. Then storm starts. Twins' mother, Mrs. Robert L. Heerdt, 111 N. Screenland Dr., Burbank says 'entertainment' is only answer to fright, but barber gives candy canes to calm identical twins, and tries to figure which twin is which as his formula goes to work, pictured at right. Haircuts aren't so bad if there's a reward."; See images #00112013 through #00112015 for all photos in this series.
