· SELF-IMPORTANCE
The future of a girl of 16, who was described as a stage artist, |was debated at Newcastle juvenile court last month, when an applica- tion, was made to have her trans- ferred from a home at Darlington to an approved school at Bristol.
Mr. Frank J. Lambert, who sp peared for the girl, said that if she was sent to an approved school | her career would be destroyed.
Mr. Graham Barrow, who made: the application, remarked that "it was important that the girl should have good surroundings instead of "the gay, easy life of the theatre, with its easy come and easy, go money.
In the end the application was! adjourned so that evidence might: be submitted of the girl's be haviour in the home at Darlington.
