fessionals' until they get way up in the busi-
ness. and then they are artistes- And the right
TO wear the title Of professional" comes high
This does not mean that the young woman who
aspires to the stage will be held up and robbed
along the path that leads to her first engage
ment 1t means that the actual requirements to
enter the theatrical profession demand con-
siderable financial outlay 1t may not always
be $500; it may be much less. but the higher
figure may easily be reached.
In the first place the difficulties that beset a
young woman who is ambitious to go on the
stage are becoming greater each season The
requirements for dramatic work are constantly
advancing, and the number of persons seeking
the stage for career is growing enormously.
These two factors materially lessen the chances
for a beginner.
But suppose a girl has set her mind on the
charm Of the footlights and starts out to make
her way to them. For illustration will say
that she first decided to take a course at a
dramatic school The tuition at these institu-
tions reaches high $500 term, although
some Of them charge much less; but there are
few which ask less than $3.50 and at least two
terms are advised by the instructors for the av-
erage pupil If the girl who elects to take this
dramatic school course be nonresident of this
city she VIII nave IN ADDITION 10 her tuition Zee
the cost Of her transportation here and her
board and living expenses during her course Of
studies and while she is looking for an engage
ment.
At length. after the outlay in this direction
the young woman may find an opening with
some dramatic company. The chances are that
it will be in a modern play, and perhaps her
part may be that of n young society woman
Now comes the cost of gowns for the stage. In

centage Of beginners the stage are lucky
enough TO get with leading managers. 1t is far
more likely that girl Will be accepted by some
of the lesser managers, in which event she may
have to pay part of the cost of her gowns.
and in many cases will have to defray the en-
tire expense herself. 1t may be that only one
handsome dress will be required, and that the
others will be simple and less expensive. on
the other hand, the young woman may have to
provide herself with three elaborate costumes.
In any event, she will have to buy her own boots
and slippers, and hosiery and gloves, and nu.
merous other little incidentais of adornnent. IL
perhaps rich wrap or two. And SO it is easily
apparent that a large sum of money can be laid
out, and in many cases must be expended, be-
fore girl really makes her stage debut.

part in a costume play the outlay would be less.

For such plays the managers furnish the main
articles of dress. But here again the boots and
