NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, Fill DAY, MARCH 20, 1920. DEFENDS ENGLISH Is Serious Career-Chorines Ob ject to Criticisms London. Mnreh !6 VP) Wlin John Tlockett, Laborlta Member of Com mon!, rofi'rtd to .the bejewelled TeereB08 at the opening of Parlia ment a vulgar, garish mob of un (JerdreBsfd women, and compared them to chorus girls, he started aomstlilns In the theatrical world. These iiu one may say almot tuyUiing he lik 3 about the iioMllly and escape unscathed, but the land of stage. Of course, Mr. Beckett, who tins achieved fume by wearing a huso sonibero which has perhaps the fctdcsl brim In the country, was not attacking the stage. He was after the nobility. But Indirectly he hit the stage hard enough to get a sharp reaction. "It seems an amazing thing, and a wicked thing, that frequently when twople have something particularly nasty to say about somebody they compare their victim to theatrical tuople," declares Mi3S Fay Compton. "In this country tho stngo Is a seri ous profession, and our choruses arc filled with well-bred, highly educated girls who are working hard and honestly to make reers." Miss Compton Is one of the lead ing nctressifs In Kngland and Is one Gf the most enutlful women on the tae today. She Is best, known for her work In Shakespearean roles iul other "straight drama." Miss Compton alro has served fier time In musical comedy, and there is not much she does not know about chorus girls. "Garish and vulgar!" mpnt'-d Hiss Compton. "Why. our chorus girls haven't the money to be garish Ind vulgar even if ihy were) In clined thai way, which they aren't. iThey are hsrdwovklns girls with iivirII pay and most of them can't j afford to dress better than I am ; tressed now." I Miss I'ompton gtance.1 down d". 1 Proc.-.llngly at an i':;ecedingly tho'!- ' ?t outfit of very ordinary material which she was wearing. She was coe. turned for the impersonation of a girl of the KnsL Knd. 'The great majority of our ehorus tivls have no Inclination to vulgarity for the simple reason ihnt they com. from good families and are well bred," continued Miss Compton. We take the si a ire very seriously. Amldiious girls nut" the chor merely b means to the rod.
