Day of Taller and Heavier Chorus . Girls is Heralded by Flo Ziegfeld B T SAM DOVE United Press Staff Correspondent N B W YO R K , N>v. 1 5 — (U>M- Suddenly converted to the theory “the more g irl, the more sex ap peal.*’ Florenx Ziegfeld Is picking hts new dancing chorus larger than he has dared since before the war. The noted glorifter of A m eri can womanhood let down the bars when he advertised for gfrls for “ Rosalie,” his forthcoming production starring W arylln M il ler, who recently obtained a Paris resignation from, the Pick- ford fam ily, and Jack Donahue. “W anted: Chorus girls S feet 5 Inches ta ll, apply Ziegfeld the atre,*’ read the ad In New York papers. « This is an Inch taller than the lim it for dancing girls Ziegfeld has set for years. I t brought forth more than 400 applicants hitherto unfam iliar to the Zieg feld eye. “The short and skinney phase has about had its day,” said Ziegfeld. " I am going to try them a trifle larger and a bit heavier. You know, I think they have more sex appeal that way.” Ziegfeld thus - became a con vert to the theory of Miss Mae West, although he denied that he was fam ilia r with it. Miss W est appeared last year as the principal charmer in a play call ed “Sex." She faced a matter of dramatic necessity, for unless Miss West convinced the audience that she was a three-alarm aruir ful, the whole theme of “ Sex” fell fla tte r than a C hild’s pan cake. A fte r carefully thinking th e 'm atte r over, Miss West went on a diet of bananas and hot fudge sundaes' w ith whipped cream until she gained 20 pounds. The rest Is history. The police stopped “ Sex” as a men ace to public morals and in carcerated Miss West in the hoosegow on W elfare Island until she lost weight again. Ziegfeld, however, has decided to risk It In “ Rosalie.” He beam ed when he looked over the 400 odd blonde and tyunette huskies who answered his modest ad. Then he lined them up across the stage in company front— 25 glasses. Ziegfeld wears a special pair OXFORD TRAMS MAY RAN RHODES SCHOLARS O XFO RD , Epgland, — (IP) — A movement is gaining support In Cambridge and Oxford universi ties to keep the Rhodes Scholars from winning positions on any of the Varsity teams. A recent ruling, passed by a committee made np of representa tives of both institutions, is to the effect that no student wo comes to either university and who is over 20 years old on the firs t of October preceding the date of his m atriculation w ill be eligible for a Varsity team . ’As the Rhodes Scholars, who come to Oxford only, are abont the only ones who w ill be hit by this new ruling. It appears to be a direct attempt to keep them out of varsity sports.
