The COIumbia-"The Chorus Lady"
An attraction Of especial interest is an
nOunced for the Columbia Theater this
week. when Rose Stahl will be seen here
for the first time in James Forbes com
edy, "Fhe Chorus Lady" Something over
year ago Miss Stahl stirred up posi-
tive sensation when she created the role
of Patricia OBrien, member OF the
chorus, in this play. 'The Chorus Lady,
is in four acts. The first act is placed In
the home Of Patrick O'Brlen, a trainer, in
charge of racing stables. A couple Of
jockeys board there. One of the daugh-
ters Is at home. but the other, Patricia,
played by Miss Stahl is a member of the
chorus with a shaky musical comedy or
ganization. The company strands and she
comes home. Eagle-eyed and keenly in
formed as to the world, decidedly sophis-
tieated, and cOnversing in the extreme
of Bowery slang, she is a picturesque
personality She quickly discerns that
city man who has acquired an interest in
the stables has too strong an influence
over her sister and fearing for the re-
suit, she yields 10 entreaties TO which she
had before turned a deaf ear and consents
that the sister shall accompany her upon
the stage.
The second act shows the interior of
chorus dressing-room. There the freshest
and breezlest Of slang Is banded about
In free and frank manner All the
workings of a real chorus in preparation
for stage work is shown The girls in
dulge in gossip, cigarettes. and bets on
the races. All types are shown, from the
girl who helps her family and lives quiet
ly on SIC a week to the Jne who wears
diamonds and rides in an automobile on
the same apparent income. There is no
idealization; all is real and straightfor-
ward. In this act it develops that the
sister has been followed by the man and
has been induced to borrow money from
him. Becoming frightened. she fees To
his room. and the Chorus Lady. To save
her, follows. The sweetheart OF Patricia
has business with this same man. and he
discovers her there. but does not see the
younger sister Rather than betr3y the
girl Patricia lets him believe what he
will.
The third act is in the mans chambers
and the fourth is in the boarding house
where Patricia lives. Considerable in
genious explaining is necessary, but final
ly all things are Strengthened out-the
SouilSSA S+SteF Is SaNeu from nef own
folly Patricia and her sweetheart are
reconciled, and she decides TO retire from
the stage.
To this breezy, happy, honest character
Miss Stahl brings all her talents, ripened
by years Of training and experience and
mellowed by a warm human sympathy.
The company which win appear here in
support of Miss Stahl includes Alice
Leigh. Eva Dennison. Bert Cotton. Thomas
Mcguire. Giles Shine Francis Byrne. VII
fred Lucas. Amy Lesser. Claire Lane.
Helen Hilton. Annie Ives. Margaret
Wheeler, Carolyn Green, Amy Lee, Maude
