What you see are the changing alterations to Ruby's hair. Back then, they had to do it with paint. They had to paint each frame, one by one. It was art. But, they couldn't be totally consistent. It's just too difficult to make the transitions totally fluid and consistent. So, the result is that his hair jumps around.
I posted a series of frames from it here:
You'll see that two I labelled 5a and 5b, and that's because it jumps from one to the other instantly. It literally jumps before your eyes.
And note that the whole pattern of Ruby's supposed hair loss is totally unlike the male pattern baldness that men experience. Supposedly, Ruby was bald on top except for tufts of hair in the very front that he kept long and combed back in long strands. And supposedly, he also added a weird part to it. As you look at the pictures, ask yourself how often you see someone with hair like that.
In male pattern baldness, it usually starts at the temples and is followed by thinning at the crown. So, it's a three-pronged, triangulated attack, like the attack on Kennedy. But after that, the frontal hair goes next; it goes before the hair on top. So, when you see a man with frontal hair and baldness behind it on top, it's usually because he had a hair transplant, like Joe Biden. But, Jack Ruby did not have a hair transplant. It didn't exist at the time. It was done with paint.
The reason they did it was because the Garage Shooter had such a thick mane of hair in back, which was a wig. James Bookhout was an FBI agent, and they all wore very short, razored hair. So, the wig was part of his disguise. It's obviously not Ruby's hair. But, if they showed Ruby as bald as he was, it would have been ridiculous to claim that he was the Garage Shooter. Who could be bald on top and have this much hair in back? There is absolutely no chance that Ruby had hair like this. IT'S A WIG!
