New York Is the poorest place in
the world to look for good looking
girls. They may wear good clothes
but that doe.sn't mean anything on
the stage. The city may have a
big reputation for beauty, but it il
quite mnmerited. If you analyze
1t; you'll 4in.l that all of the pretty
ones come from other parts of the
country. There are not many of
/ them In New York. In fact. very
few.
Il have often observed as 90
out In New York how rare 1t Is
to find pretty girl or in the
hotels. The general run of New
York girls are hard looking, artifi-
cial and too angular. People have
the wrong idea about the good
looking women in this city. can
do better in Boston, Philadelphia or
Chicago. The city is very much
over-rated, especially when it comes
to good looking women"
