Show Girl Statistics.

The New York World recently took a
census Of the chorus girls employed in
Lady Teazle." Out of total Of eighty
six girls, this newspaper found thirty-two
who had never been employed before they
went on the stage From this 1t Is fair to
presume that large percentage Of the
total number thus arduously employed
came from comfortable homes and had no
real need Of working Fourteen had been
typewritists, five artists models. one a
lobbyist and one domestic. Twenty of
the choristers were married, twenty-one
were divorced, six had divorces pending,
and thirty-nine were single. The youngest
of the lot proved to be sixteen, and the
eldest was put automatically at 80"
The World estimated the average income
per young woman to be SIS a week. twenty
weeks in the year, or $500 per annum. New
ertheless, seven were found to be owners
of automobiles, seventy-eight to possess
Jewels and furs, and seven confessed to at
tending rehearsals in carriages.

asked him what he would rent his theater
for. The manager asked the nature OF the
attraction and the advance agent replied
that he had piano player that he wanted
to try out before he took him to New York. !"
Arrangements were finally made whereby
the manager Of the theater was to receive
$50 for the rent Of his theater and was also
to have the ice water privileges. When the
night for the pianist arrived it was found
that he was none other than Ignace Pad
erewski. digital expert Of the black and
white worries, and that the receipts played
to that night were over the 5000 mark.
Since then the manager has begun to sit
up and take notice and he inquiries rather
