NEW BRITAIN HERALD NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1930. . Earl Carroll Defends Bare Legs From Pulpit, Flays Boston Censor ' Boston, Oct. 27 (UP)—Earl Car-| voll was a preacher for a day yes- | terday. The “Vanities” and “Sketch Book” producer seized an offer to nise the pulpit of the Channing Uni- | tarian church in Dorchester to carry | on his private war with City Censor John M. Casey and others who would make his chorus girls wear more than they do. .+ “God made beautiful legs and Bm sure no covering could be as beautiful as the bare leg of a girl,” - Carroll said from the pulpit, vefer- ving to Casey’s dictum that Sketch Book girls appearing in Doston must wear tights. God Has “Sense of Humor” “I like to think of my God as a Lod with a sense of humor,” Car- 20ll continued. “The hardest thing | in the world to create is a laugh Air. Casey destroys laughs but he doesn’t give me one for cach one he eliminates. T am sure my God has a sense of humor. If he didn’t he could never have created so many of us.” “Mr. Casey comes to the theater 10 destroy,” thundered the pro- ducer-preacher. “He comes to the theater to track down the ‘hells’ and ‘damns’ and all the other petty things which a ridiculous law says must not be done or said in the| theater.” Casey had his say ‘ater. T will not allow that4flan Car- roll to stand up in a pulpit and hold me up to ridicule while he attempts 10 gloss over the truht,” the censor said at his home, i ‘I shall tell the whole truth of the matter,” Casey declared, “and the truth is this: “His girls arrlved not without stockings, but without costumes. Jiven the savages wear more of a covering than his girls wear. It is consummate nerve for him to try to tell decent people in a church that ) censored his show only for lack of stockings. He knows very well that T would allow his girls to ap- | * pear without stockings if they wore decent costumes. Boston does not | ban bare legs, but it does ban in- decency.” N No Objection to “Hell” Casey sald he did not object to the word “Hell” when it is used “as such,” but said he did object “when it is used to emphasize and throw ihe spotlight on filth and sex in- decency so that not even a child could miss it.” The censor added that he would » -~ - G allow girls in Tlorenz Ziegfeld's shows to appear without {ights if the producer wished. “Providing girls are decently cos- ‘tumed,” he said, “they can wppear | without stockings. However, as T understand 1t, Mr. Ziegfeld prefers that his girls wear stockings, but ‘“that s for him to decide.” E. B. Clive, FEnglish producer, made briet comment on the Carroll appearance in the pulpit. L “I have just learned that Earl Carroll preached from a Boston 1ulpit”® he said. “I am so Incensed that T feel that the church, and not ,me theater, should be padlocked.” NEW BRITAIN MAN - HEADS Y.
