COMING, COLISEUM | Twenty years ago, when the stage production of “The Music opened in New York, Mrs. Z. Gorfain, then one of the best known hair dressers in the city went to see it with the man who later became her husband. “Iu faet,” 1 Mrs. Gorfain, “it was on that night that he asked me to marry him. And perhaps that's why I remember so well that the hat 1 wore was so very like the hat that Miss Moran now wears in the screen version of the play, and that my hair was done im the same high pompadour that 1 have made for her.” When Allan Dwan started pro- duction on “The Music Master” at the Fox New York Studio, he looked about for some hair ex pert who would remember the fashionable coiffures of 1900 and be able to achieve them. He found Mrs. Gorfain, whose fingers fell ily and happily into th old skill which ceased to be use. ful stock in trade when he gan to be bobbed.
