STAGE MORALS
LONDON CAMPAIGN OFFICIAL ACTION BISHOP'S CONDEMNATION PULPIT STATEMENT By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright LONDON. Nov. 3 From the pulpit of the fashionable St. James' Church, Piccadilly, the Bishop of London, Dr. Winnington Ingram, speaking at a service convened by the Public Morality League, announced a campaign to "clean up" the London stage. "The other flay," he said, "I was called in by the Loijcl Chamberlain, who said ho was going to call together every person responsible for the London theatres and tell them this nudity on the London stage has got to stop. "I have reason to believe now that all realise that they will permit it at their peril." Nakedness, said the bishop, was dishonourable in girls and extremely bad for decadent young men who found pleasure in it.
