Ballroom Dance, STAGE Skirt

supervisor Ralph McLeran--We hear
a great deal these days about pro-
viding proper amusement for the
public. and / know of nothing that
has given the people more interest
ing entertainment than the slit
skirt. / therefore can not see why
those who have produced it should
lead in an attack upon it, For the
tango. / would suggest that we
open more dancing schools for it.
What the American people need is
grace. --------->

Tango MoraI-Fickert

District Attorney Fickert-The tango
itself is a moral dance. 1t all de-
ponds on who dances the tango.
The most objectional dance is the
rag and l am against it. The slit
skirt. in my opinion is not objec-
tionable if worn modestly.

ing either from the hobble or the
slit skirt, but / would not think it
right to go to the extreme in either
fashion.
Superior Judge Crofherss Neither
the tango nor the slit skirt has
been brought to my judicial at
tention. but speaking unofficially,
I would say that neither of them
should be discussed in their ex-
IRENE forms. The tango might
be exaggerated by some people,
but the Slit skirt should never be
exaggerated.
Superior Judge A. T.. GraupDer-
I indorse the sentiment of the lady
who told Judge Dunno that the
tango may be danced gracefully or
disgracefully. believe that well
dressed woman is always modestly
dressed. no matter what the fash
ion may be- think that is true.
