Blue Crusaders In London
Hub Of Empire Becomes A
Second Babylon In Their Eyes
London, Dec. 10.
Charges that London has become a "Modern Babylon on the Thames," naughtier and merrier on Sundays than the gayest spots of Continental Europe, have evoked a feud between moralists and public officials.
Into the reform crusade of the world's largest city are thrust the comical, red pulty noses and false whiskers of the vaudoviile comedians and the protesting wails of the "legiti- mate artists." -
"
For years the London County Council has prohibited actors from appearing in Sunday performances with false moustaches, or any other form of makeup.
A comedian might, however, carry off his entire crazy repertoire on a Sunday evening if he wore a full dress suit. Then his anties became a recital or concert.

The comedians wanted their noses seven days a week-and the artists wanted their rights. The County Council, with Purl tanic solemnity, stood firm, and the feud broke out.
On the fundamentalist side stood Herbert Morrison, head at the council.
