Show Opposes Female Singers lu Choirs. Rt. Rev. Frederick Burgess, the new Episcopal bishop of Long Island, announces an-nounces his opposition to female singers sing-ers In vested choirs, and has prohibited prohib-ited their appearance in any of the nine churches under jurisdiction of the Cathedral of the Incarnation at Garden Gar-den City, Bishop Burgess says: "I am strongly opposed to female singers In the vested choirs and always have been. I don't think It proper, and It is my intent to do away with the practice as much as possible. I feel that women should be modest at all times, and when she dons these garments gar-ments I don't consider it very proper. I don't object to their singing in the church, but I do object to their marching around,- ves.'.id, in tha chorus." |
