Kudos all around. Everyone great.
I didn't like Harry's new hair color even though he is growing older. I like his old dark hair.
Dolly Sisters were born Hungarian (1892 Austro-Hungarian Empire) in real life, but a reviewer elsewhere said they were American vaudevillians. They had come to America at age 13. At any rate, in this show they sounded totally American with no trace of a European accent. They also had black hair in real life. With all the pre-hype, I thought they'd have a larger part in this episode, but it looked like plenty of other characters had to have their stories told, also.
The Dollys looked darling in their red and white outfits and hats, but I felt that their chartreuse green outfits along with their frizzy, sleazy blonde hair were totally trashy. Spoilers: We are being set up for Harry Selfridge's eventual ruination by these scandalous double-the-pleasure / double-the-fun troublesome flappers.
Great to see Lady Mae. Hope we don't have to see her scoundrel of an ex-husband. The actress was out having a baby since we saw her last.
I thought that the African-English young seamstress might be the object of violence by the white female employees, since she is not only talented but a favorite of Lady Mae.
Too bad about Harry's mother. Wonder what record was playing on the phonograph.
Love the Mary Jane-style women's shoes. Same time period as Downton Abbey, no? These are my new must-haves. My grandmother wore some of these in an old photograph, but hers were not like the beautiful red pumps worn by the Dolly Sisters in this Mr. Selfridge episode.
Clothes and shoes: everything old is new again, lol.
10/10
