individuals affected by the doctrines
preached. He exhorted his congre-
cation to stand steadfast in the be-
lief of their fathers.

GIRL To YALE
PROM
Tennessee Student Shocks
Social Arbiters Of New
Haven.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. ST.
Mothers and society women of this
ancient college town were agbg to-
day over the report that Uia
Sharon, premier dancer Of the
Greenwich Village Follies," win at
tend the exclusive Yale prom to-
night, the event marking the apex
of the college social season.
Hale e. Cullom, Yale University
student of Memphis, Tenn, a boy
hood chum of Miss Sharon, en-
phatically stated today he would go
ahead with his plan, despite the
fatherly advice OF President. j. r.
Angel Of Yale, to bring, Ulga to the
dance as his guest Cullon said
Ula would appear in the SGreen-
witch Follies" as usual tonight, leav-
ing New York. after the show and
arriving here in time to attend the
prom. which usually starts at mid
night.
Shocks Social Arbiters.
When the Yale News printed a
list OF students and their girl guests
at the prom, the social arbiters of
New Haven discovered that of the
show girl opposite Cullom Shame
They were shocked They vowed
that their daughters should not go
to the dance IL Miss Sharon at
tended. They said show girls
should mot be allowed to attend.
Sides were taken. Nothing was
said by anyone to disparage in any
way, the character of Miss Sharon,
but the mothers and socially pron1i-
nent women of New Haven said
there wasf a principle at stake
namely, the linwritten law that no
actress should attend the prom.
Cu1lom Argues Case.
Cullonn argued that the girl was
his childhood playmate-that the
prom was a dance and that Miss
Sharon was quite artistic with her
dancing and why in the heck"
shouldu,t@ he bring her?"
Besides, Cullom pointed out. there
had been actresses at past proms,
although they attended anonymous
ly.
President Angel had confer
ence with Cullom. The prom COM
was Cullom decided it would per-
haps, be better to escort Miss
Sharon to the prom under her real

Sharon. The announcement was
then made Miss Robinson" would
be Cullom's guest.
Trick Is Discovered.
But busy tongues again were set
wagging and the social arbiters of
this city soon discovered the sub
stitution trick. Further tempest
was unlocked in the most exclusive
of New Haven drawing rooms.
AS result the coming of Green
witch Village Follies' premiere dan
Ger to the Yale prom is awaited
with more expectancy today than
the arrival Of any debutante from
all New England.
There was an undercurrent of
gossip among the men students of
Yale that Miss Sharon would have
difficulty in supplying all requests
for dances. 4
Cullom's only comment was:
whats a prom for if it isn't to
dance. I've invited the finest
dancer in America
