Where Do They COT
What Becomes of Chorus Girls, Accord

What becomes of the thousands OF

This is a question that no doubt comes

goers who, week after week, see dfffer-
ent musical comedies, each enc with It's
heavy contingent of more or less youth
ful women forming an effective back
ground for the favored few who consti-
tl1ta the staff of principals.
The average manager would doubtless
be at loss TO give satisfactory an
swer Certain it is that the public now
demands younger and prettier girls than
ever before. and this fact narrows the
working years of those Of the chorus to
not TO exceed five years, and 1t is an
equally positive fact that very few ever

Miss Nelson has had several years
experience on the stage. Her first as

ing woman for the late Wilson Barrett.
Miss Nelson came North and studied
eiocution for three years under James
E. Murdoch. taking the first gold medal
in a competition partaken in by $50 pu-
| pills. She then made a tour OF the
/ country as a lyeeum reader for three

One OF the novel features in the per-
Torrance of woodland at the New
York theater is the number, THE Ro-
nance of Bachelor Bird" by Lucille
Nelson, in which she renders bird
language into song. She does not
whistle or pipe, but makes the
sounds she produces with her voice.
When asked for an explanation of the
feat she said:
What I do is really a piece Of elo-
cution 1t is simply the use Of the
voice to translate or render words
into bird sounds. It has the effect of
whist1ing to some extent; but il is in
no sense a bird imitation. The song
I render when reduced to a CONVEX
sational tone is composed OF words In
the English language. with the excep-
ton Of the cries, Pee Wee. and one
other note which is intended to repro
duce the peculiar cry of the bachelor
bird. This is a particular kind or bird
found in some parts or the country,
It's name is Tifsleadfg to 4 certain
extent, for he has his mate just as
the other girtis have.
Spoken Words-Not "Chirps."
1.-THE idea Of this act was-if I may
be pardoned for saying .so-an inspira-
ton. An old lady friend. had told mt
about a bird imitation she had heard
! and 1t occurred to me that the birds
| had a language which might be re
produced to some extent at least bs
| the human voice. I spent my girl
hood in the beautiful glades Of Ten
nessee, where feathered songsters
abound, and was familiar with all the
! cries or songs of the birds native tt
| that part OF the country.
when the thought struck me,
! proceeded to shut myself IN my room
| and practice I came to the conclu
sion that I could get spoken word:
| pitched TO such a high key that i
| would sound like the imitation of
! birds voice. and in this would consis
the novelty Of the part, for I do no
| pretend to initiate the sounds mad.
BY particular birds by whtstling o.
piping.
