Description
Photograph article dated October 22, 1947 reads, "New skirt length styles raised a problem for Scotchmen. Film Comedian Hugh Herbert (left) favors the long kilts, while Scottish Comedian Harry Gordon, here for appearances in Philharmonic Auditorium Friday and Saturday nights, sticks with the above-the-knee lengths. Paula Gordon wears a long skirt but doesn't quite know which length she prefers in kilts."
