peculiarly childish innocence has slept on several occasions with men who have picked her up and, having been found on examination to have contracted syphilis, she is about to be taken away from her parents for treatment. Of course there is a painful intimacy about all this, but, unless we are confirmed shirkers, is there not a painful intimacy about a lot of life? Is it not better to be struck by the pathos, the urgency of a particular case before we meet one in real life? A few words from the girl or from her distraught and hopelessly inadequate father and mother are surely THE PICK-UP GIRL. At the trial. The gitTs friend hands her his violin before giving evidence. (Jessica Spencer —first production— and David Markham.) 1946.
