Really Must
Shock Him
"You meet nice girls. You
make nice money. Why not be
come a beautician?” suggested a
friend.
The prospect sounded nice, so
Pvt. Nicholas Spyros. 32, w-ho had
Just returned to the Uni-.ed States
after spending more than 21 years
of his life in Greece, enrolled in
the Syracuse School of Beauty
Culture, Syracuse, N. Y.
That was 10 years ago. Since
then he has spent more than three
years as beautician with the well
known firm of Elisabeth Arden,

hopefuls for screen tests with
Paramount and Fox studios, been
independent hair stylist, and car
ed for the coiffures of such lumi
naries as singer Grace Moore,
backstroke swimmer Gloria Cal
len, Mrs. Spencer Tracy, and ac
tresses Sylvia Sydney, Simone
Simone. Joan and Constance Ben
nett and Miriam Angeles.
He gave many actors advice on
how to cut their hair for screen
and stage appearances.
“Most barbers cut too much off
the sides, and around the ears.
That doesn't look right to an au
dience," he explained.
Born in Laurel, Mass., Private
Spyros has traveled throughout
the nation as agent and advisor
with beauty firms.
Private Spyros has been in
structor, demonstrator and Drivate
consultant, done coiffures for
magazine advertising, stage and
fashion shows and for exhibitions

“I keep my sense of humor,”
Private Suss answers when ques
tioned on present day Army life.
"Helen still addresses me as Bar

glad to do any part I can.”
“I seem to be permanent PP.
