COMEDY STAR LIKES HARVARD, BUT THINKS RADCLIFFE GIRLS MENACE

Toni Sorel Votes to Keep Them Shut Out of Yard

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

"Radcliffe girls are horrible. They have hairy legs and fat fannies and shouldn't be allowed in the yard." This outspoken comment on the social problems of Brattle Street came from Miss Toni Sorel, 1940 contender for the title of number one Oomph Girl of the Nation, and currently appearing in the new Kaufman and Hart comedy "George Washington Slept Here."

Miss Sorel was in a receptive mood as your correspondent put the bee on her at the Ritz bar, where she was lingering over a daiquiri. Her outburst against the Radcliffe Amazons came as a surprise, as she otherwise had nothing but the best to say about Harvard and its environs.

"Look at it this way," she said. "Here I was, standing in Harvard Yard, a beautiful place and simply lousy with ivy and tradition and all that; when the whole picture is ruined as a couple of these strange creatures come waddling along. They should only be allowed out at night."

Hoped to Attend History I

When questioned on her opinion of Harvard men, the ex-Powers model said she had no comment. However, she stated that she had planned to visit a History I lecture, but was advised not to do so, since her presence would cause a minor riot not unlike that of 1938 when all the alarm clocks went off.

"That wouldn't be too good, as I'm told that it would disrupt the three essential factors of the course, Unity, Unity, and Unity."

Her part in the comedy is rather unique, as she speaks no lines at all, but just stands around being seductive. She is admirably equipped for this role, and lines would only constitute a hindrance.

"They tried giving me some lines once, but they really stank. I'd rather not speak at all. I've got a pretty easy job."
