SAYS CHAUTAUQUANS
ARE LIKE GABY DESLYS
Representative Britten Criticises Mem
bers of Congress and Cabinet Of
hcers for Lecturing for Pay.

Members of Congress and Cabinet Of
ficers who leave their posts Of duty to
take the lecture platform were COM
pared with Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and
Gaby Deslys in the House yesterday by
Representative Britten, of Illinois, who
spoke in favor of his bill to prohibit such
officials from leCturing for pay.
Mr. Britten said he was in receipt OF
many letters and kilograms commencing
his bill and continued:
There can. be no argument against
the statement that the title member of
Congress- or Senator or Secretary of
State conferred by the VIII of the peo-
pie or the President adds to the drawing
qualities of a lecturer to whom people
pay their quarters and halves because
of the advertising received at public eX-
pense through the Congressional Record
or franking privilege.
Members of Congress and Cabi-
net officers are not the only
performers who have capitalized the
gift of the people or a stroke of
good fortune instead of real ability. Gaby
Deslys, the vaudeville actress is quoted
as receiving LOCO a week but any one
who has seen her 5000 worth OF clothes
and $50 worth of talent will agree that
she is capitaIizing her association with
King Manuel, of Portugal, and not her
ability to act. Evelyn Thaw, whose
theatrical ability has faded beyond rec
ognition is kept constantly before the
public at a high salary because of the
capitalization of her association with the
famous Thaw case. I merely cite these
instances to show that members of Con-
gress and Cabinet officers are not the
only imitation performers and the soon
er it is stopped, the better for the dig
nifty OF the Office"
