BURLESQUE?

To the Editor:
We intended to let the Christmas
holidays pass, and as merrily as pos
sible, and then to make some sug-
gestion to few of our business folks.
The suggestion: that they do not so
utterly racketeer Chris mas, in the
future, by so working the store clerks
ill midnight for a week befrre Christ
mas that they have not energy enough
left to attend church and to celebrate
the feast of Christ's birthday.
Christianity has furnished business
it's biggest selling opportunity of the
year. So far very We'll: nothing else
is so important in ell history as Gods
coming to earth that first Christmas
night. And it is the appropriate sea-
son for gifts But, in Gods name, let
us not he so selfish about profits as
70 smother the holy Christmas feast
beneath an open Internationally
lust for profits. Some of these stores
were open again on Saturday. the day
after Christmas, with exhausted
clerks standing at depleted counters
TO catch the additional Saturday
cines. What heartless greed!
But more distressful and regret
able symptom appears, and one that
calls aloud for cOmment-if there be
Christian conscierces still in the
bosom of fathers and mothers in Hen
dersOn. / refer to the theatres We all
know that one of our theaters should
long ago have hung up the honest
warning sign, "Burlesque." However
during the Christmas holidays, judg-
ing from the show advertising, our
theatres seem to have all decided on
which to salute the Savior of the
world. What utter paganisln is depict
ed IN the theatre advertising this
week, Are the majority of people here
really so lustful that they care for
no recreation except the contempla-
ton of human flesh? l should hate
to think so. Yet, the Lord Of all said,
by their fruits you shall know
them There is more burlesque in
Henderson than in all of Raleigh.
There is less church-going, too
If any theatre manager can honest
ly say that he can operate show
house only by displaying filthy films,
he IS bound in conscience to make
a living in another manner. And he
is certainly inputing a pitiable moral
worth to Henderson's womanhood.
Henderson women, please let us
have some Of your cnments Are your
Christian ministers OF religion a mere
Sunday morning joke, or are your
theatres libel on womanhood? If you
are satisfied with these shows GER
tainly you have built ten church es
here in vain, and you have said fare

not been too sure that he didn't have |
secret taste for vulgarity -. But |
one look at the towns representative
sample of 1887 burlesk, as unfolded in
the new Minsky Oriental Theatre,
should be enough to make anyone
above the level of Marxist dialecti-
clan certain of his definitions. Jour
neying through the carrion caves of
Mr.. Minskys show you are struck
most, not by the daring of the cos
tunes or the Rabalaisian dialogue,
but by the almost sadistic stupidity
and bonotony of the proceedings.
Now the new Minsky technique is
no different from the samples display
ed here in a dozen theatres for Seve
raj dozen years -. In Irving Place or
BOWery or Harlem empOria it was
possible to drop in for few minutes
of burlesk and go away with faint
distaste for the human species, but
with the feeling that you had seen
nevertheless a number of singularly
revolving creatures in their native ha-
bitat -. But when Mr.. Minsky open
ed his new place of business, with a
fanfare of publicity drums, and made
a formal occasion of it, so that the
lobby blazed with flash bulbs and
glistened with mink, spectators were
forced subconsciously to think of it
in terms of the theatre-or at least of
the better night clubs, where the en-
tertainment may be risque, naughty,
dull but it is never indecent in the
curious ,repellent fashion of this Min
sky opus.
What is this unpleasant element?
The thing is not as easy, as it might
at first glance appear, to lay an ad-
jective upon. The nightly entertain
ment at the French Casino reaches in
to realms of nudity only accidentally
less complete than that to be encount-
cred in the Minsky burlesk -. Jokes
patter from the masters of ceremonies
at the Paradise, the Hollywood and
even the toplofty Stork Club with
meanings almost as specific -. Yet
there is brash vitality about night
club shows at their best and at their
worst they simply give you that we'll
known s-where-I-cane-in" sensa-
ton -. Burlesk in present day Man
hattan-the blame should not rest too
heavily upon Mr.. Mnsky, for he has
many colleagues and his only sin, aft
er all, was in demanding a formally
DIRE .sed mixed audience of presum-
ably adult people for his premiere
burlesk hereabout is indecent princi-
pally, l think, because it does not do
any of the things it undertakes, by sly
inference to do.
1t does not present attractive young
women without sufficient covering. :.
The Minsky chorus had about as
much allure as those pictures the
Martin Johnsons bring back from
time to time showing groups of un-
clad ebony housewives on the banks
of the Zambesi River $50 Far from
feeling that you are in den of repre-
hens-ble but engaging houri you feel
II you are healthy man, that YOU
have somehow got into the pages of
a medical book :. There is no threat
from Mr.. Minsky to the morals of the
town; Beethoven sonata is far more
dangerous in that sphere. . But Mr..
Munsky does chip off a fragment of ;
mans distinctive dignity every time
ne puts on a show and thereby i'm
plies that human beings enjoy that
sort of thing enough to pay money
for it. !;
