"Producers sall as near to the wind as they can in these days with regard to the indecency of the |nudity of girls on the stage" he said. "Efforts are made to prevent this, but you do not support us as much As you should. It is not fair to the girls themselves. Many of them do not like it, but they must do it to earn their living. One girl told mo: 'I felt ashamed at playing that part before you, bishop,' and I replied

CONTINUE YEARS AFTER WRECK

Indeed, in my shows I always see that the girls are clothed as fully as they would be In the street, according to the dictates of the fashion of the moment. There are, however, undoubtedly certain revue and cabaret producers who take advantage of the wide scope of their entertainmente to offer the public undress displays.
