most OF whom are well known to local
theatergoers: Last summer there was
wall because of the scarcity of chorus
girls. Now the musical producers are
being puzzled over talent for their new
productions, because the bulk Of the
popular girls have become stars, while
the comedians are also approaching the
stellar ranks, some of them having all
ready enjoyed their name on a three
sheet poster in big type. Lulu CHASER,
Marie Cahill, Blanche Ring, are the
three latest to come to the front, there
Is Virginia Earle, looming up in the
dim distance, and MabelIe Gilman sue
cessfully launched. Family whispered
are the names of Christie Macdonald,
Anna Laughlfn, Ella Snyder who is
now in London; Adele Richie, Minnie
Ashley and Gertrude Quinlan. The
whisper is faint. but the stellar bee
is active, and 1t will not be long be-
fore these ambitious musical comedi-
ennes, in addition to Edna Wallace
Hopper, Maud Lambert, and Belle Har-
per, will be In the ranks of those who
have the right to the center Of the

has retired from the stage on account
of i'll health and the stage has retired
from Ada Rehan on account of i'll art,
