MisterGrey said:Although facial hair wasn't the norm in the Golden Era it wasn't unheard of or necessarily verboten. It was simply looked down upon in certain segments of society. Plenty of academics, artists, and several first and second generation immigrants had facial hair.
Also, in your so-called "Golden Era" many of the elderly sported facial hair. In fact, in the 1920's and 1930's facial hair, with the possible exception of the thin "continental" mustache sported by the younger set, or the military "brush" mustache occasionally worn by the middle aged businessman was largely consigned to the elderly, generally those surviving members of the GAR or the UCV, save of course for some unassimilated recent immigrants.
