Lydia Lopokova Says
American Girls
Are Lazy
Russian Dancer Thinks They Also LACK
Temperament and Ambition

Lydia Lopokova, the Russian premiere
danseuse who is appearing at the Pal
ace this week in a new repertory of
dances with Edmund Makaliff. thinks
that the American girl is in danger of
losing her charm through her inherent
laziness. Miss Lopokcva says:
"The trouble with american girls is
that they are lazy. Why, they don't

that to be idle is almost a crime We
know nothing but work. That's why
we are such healthy lot, and that's the
reason we turn out such good dancers.

lieve the reason for it is that your
young women do not want to work.
They lack the fire and instinct of dra-

of laziness. They lack temperament.
