â- p^"""~" 8 THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11. 1921 AMERICAN WOMAN NOT BEAUTIFUL, SATS PROF. University of Chicago Educator Holds Liberians and Igorrote* Have Our GirU Topped For Looks Chicago â€" Arc American women beautiful ? "No!" empathically declares Prof. Frederick Starr, head of the depart- ment of anthropology at the Univer- sity of Chicago. "Positively noâ€"espe- cially the blondes." In any point of feminine pulchfitude, he is reported to have told his classes, the American girl, blonde or brunette, does not compare with the dusky damsels of Liberia, the Korean sub-debs, "with their soft, silky, smooth yelloW skins, or with the beautiful coloring of the Igorrotes." "Yes!" is the indignant counter claim of co-eds, clergymen, society leaders, actresses, artists and mere men. "Yes, our girls are the most beautiful in the world." But first listen to the professor: •The trouble with us is that our American good nature makes us call any girl who is not phenomenally ugly, pretty. As a matter of fact, a handsome man or a beautiful woman is a rarity in these United States. v»e American race is too mongrel to evolve pretty girls." Told To Go To Liberia ••Whyâ€"why," gasped Mrs. Freder- ick D. Cpuntiss, society leader, "the most ravishingly. exquisitely beautiful women I ever saw were Americans. I love to look at them myself. Why doesn't Professor Starr go to Libe- ria?" Louis Betts, society portrait artist, said American women are "most daz- zlingly beautiful of allâ€"they have life, vivacity, charm and grace.* He said he painted all over Europe and saw nothing to equal the girls of the U. S. A. ------:------il-iâ€" ^ And Alderman John J. (Bathhouse John") Coughlin, Beau Brummel of the City Council, spoke thus: "Say, our girls have class. Other girls leave off where American girls begin." Mrs. Lester Armour, noted as a beautiful society blonde, intimated that she did not consider the profes- sor's statement worth discussing. "Beinp a blonde myself," said Mrs. James Ward Thorne. "I really believe I had better keep still on this ques- tion." f The Rev. Norman Hutton, pastor of St. Chryspstom's Episcopal church, said American men are not "spoofing when they praise the attractiveness of their women. • ... "Why thev are as beautiful as anv," he declared. "I do not refe^r.to painted fools. I mean those healthy, normal natural, graceful creatures who have a spiritual radiance. The co-eds who heard Prof. Starr s talk said-well, perhaps it would be good taste not to quote the young ladies. Suffice to say that a frigid aj- mosphere pervades the classroom and that there is some apprehension tnat the undergraduates will take to wear- ing smoked glasses on occasions, such as parties and dances.
