intellectual giants, they're an utterly different
species from the baby-talkers of yore."
In the dear, dead days when Ziegfeld was
glorifying the American girl, the average
chlorine had the body of Greek goddess and
the mentality of very backward imbecile
She was under the impression that Homer
was something hit by Babe Ruth. that the
Italian Renaissance was a spaghetti dish, and
that manual labor was probably the name of
Spanish politician. In 1927, writer in The
American Mercury" commented, The Broad
way chorus girl has one relentless purpose -
money, money, money - but it's money to
spend on silly things, seldom money to bank.

ignorance and unimaginative dumbness'
Gold Digging Il Out
lHE Broadway chorus girl, 1916 model, is,
by and large, completely changed creature
She doesn't eat lobster, loathes champagne
neither has nor wants diamond bracelets, and
isn't trying to graft money out of millionaire
playboys. As matter of fact, the millionaire
playboy has almost disappeared too There
are few Stage-Door Johnnies dressed in top
hats and tails and carrying boxes of white
orchids, lurking at the stage doors of the
musical hits
The chorus girl nowadays is apt to be an
artist who takes her dancing seriously She is
almost as we'll read as Gene Tunney. Often
she can quote from the later poems of William
Butler Yeats and give you her opinion of the

lating for several years - namely, that the
chorus girl of lovely physical proportions but
great stupidity has well-nigh disappeared.
John Murray Anderson, director of musical
shows for 20 years, recently remarked, The
era of the gold-digging chorus girl is over.
While the dancers nowadays are not exactly

are lovely - but SO different
NJor long ago there took place in New
II York City peculiar battle of wits. The
opponents consisted of two teams: battery
of six chorus girls, selected from various musi-
cal comedies on Broadway. and group of six
undergraduates from Barnard College.
The Judges threw questions at the girls that
might have baffled John Kieran. Some $50
questions - literary. historical, geo.
graphical and mathematical - were
posed. Presumably. beauty was pitted against
brains The girls on both sides were asked to
tell who was the patron of Quintus Horatius
Flaccus, who was the first Chief Justice of the
United States, and what monarch was respon-
sible for the Protestant reformation in Great
Britain.
Beauty Beats Brains
Win admirable self-control, the judges re-
framed from giving the girls any hints, even
when two of the chorus team shyly f1uttered
their eyelashes in mute desperation At the
end of three hours the score was totted up.
To everybody's surprise. the chorus girls had
trounced the Barnard intelligentsia by the
comfortable margin of IS to 81 points!

spending an average of 81 28O on her dancing
education There are 5.29l chorus girls listed
in the Equity files, and of these close to 1000
are working in shows at present. The mimi
mum wage is $50 week, but most of the girls
earn from S65 to $50 week.
Looks, Clothes Made Chozine
HIS long, expensive preparation for chorus
work was unheard of formerly. In the Zieg-
field era chorus girl had only to be tall and
shapey. Years ago." says Ruth Richmond,
executive secretary of Chorus Equity, who
was member of the chorus in those days,
"all girl had to know was time STEP which
is simple tap dance. If girl was pretty and
could wear Clothes the directors could teach
her the routines for show during rehearsals."
William j. Wilson, who directed all the
choruses during the halcyon days of the
Winter Garden circa 1910, once stated, IF a
girl knows her right foot from her left, can
teach her to dance in my shows"
Nowadays chorus girl not only has to
know one foot from another, but she has to
know the five basic positions of ballet. She
has to be able to perform intricate movements
and difficult leaps like arabesques. pirouettes
and entrechats. And she has to he an ar
tist, in the sense that she must express
emotions and moods through her fin
gers, arms, torso -a as we'll as legs.
In the ancient, or pre-ntellectual, days OF
the chorus, there was no question of artistic
expression involved The main idea was to
divert the tired businessman sitting in Bald
headed Row Baldheaded Row was not inter-
ested in choregraphy. Baldheaded Row was
interested in legs. Today many musical shows

ConciIiotor
 Selects Date

U. c. Cancellation Commissioner William Truax has arranged a meeting for Monday between the Plume and Atwood Manufacturing Company management and the union negotiating committee. The federal conciliator has entered the picture following failure of direct negotiations between the parties.
 The Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Union, seeking joint contract covering the company's Waterbury and Thomaston plants, submitted a series of proposals to the company. The management re- piled with a set of counter-pro- posals, and the situation was in a deadlock when the conciliation service was asked to intervene.
 The barley Monday will be held at the company office here.

 Alien veterans who wish to apply for quick citizenship under the Second War Powers Act, should do SO before Dec. 31st of this year.

 The veteran alien is not required to file declaration of intention. He need not have lived in the country any specified length of time. He is not required to speak the English language, meet educa- tional tests, and does not have to pay any fees for filing his petitino for naturalization.

Why does Bevin think the magnificent Roya, Navy covered the floor of the Arc tic seas with its sailors? To protect fascist Sir Oswald Moseley? Why does Byrnes think Bradley Hodges and Patton left American dead from Casablanca to the Rhine? To protect Fritz Kuhn, the untried 26 alleged seditionists and Joe Mc- Williams?
 Before they replace the fangs of the Nazi serpent, won't Molotov Bevin and Byrnes please realize for the sake of the generation of 1955-that there is no such thing as a pet cobra or reformed Nazi?

 Save a shudder for the syrupy attitude toward NaZiland. While Americas economy is tottering on the brink of imitation, we are sup plying oodles of coin to patch up Germany's economic machinery.
