but to a certain school only for chorus
girls wherein they have learned things
to do on the stage-and nothing else.
The school for chorus girls was the
happy thought of Martin Beck and
some of his associates who are inter-
ested in giving perfection to the girl
acts now so dominant a feature IN
vaudeville. These acts have been be-
fore the public for some years, but
usually have been made up of hap
hazard lot of girls gathered from other
companies and from private life. AS
consequence that perfection of unison
in acting, singing and dancing so de-
sirable in a condensed act of twenty
minutes, where all the attention is
riveted on a small group, has been
lacking.
1t was a combination of all this,
with a desire for perfection in girl
acts, that led Mr.. Beck to form the
school for aspirants to vaudeville
chorus work. 1t is in the st. James
building, in New York, and instruc-
ton is free, contingent upon worthy
applicants agreeing to remain with an
act for its length of run.
They first go through a series of
singing lessons, to perfect them in
chorus singing. This is usually the
short part of the course, for most
girls who apply can sing some at the
start. Then come the dancing lessons.

step is sought; novelty of action is
demanded, and variety is necessary.
Not only must girl learn all the
usual buck and wing and rag time
steps, but she must be able to drop
one style of dancing and take up an
other at a moments notice without
confusing the steps. She is taught to
dance, either with hard or soft shoes.
in perfect rhythm; she is shown how
to caper nimbly in a grei. many ways,
and she is taught stage department;
how to get over the footlights' and
all the little tricks that make for pop
ular approval and enjoyment. AT the
close of her instruction she is quail
fed to go into a big girl act without
much further training, except the
usual song and step rehearsals.
The new school, it is reported, is al
ready a success, and will be continued
with especial activity during the sum-
mer, in anticipation of a number of
big girl acts to go out this fall, as
these acts have shown a great strength
and popularity among vaudeville pa
irons.

BOYS GUILTY OF BURGLARY
REFUSE TO GIVE IDENTITY
One SAYS He Would Rather Serve Fif-
teen Years Than Mother Should

Rather than disclose their identity
and thus bring disgrace on their rela-

pleaded guilty to burglary charges, told
Judge Wilbur yesterday they were
ready to spend long terms in the peni-
tertiary.
The boys gave the names of Buster
Griffin and Frank Dupre, and investi-
cation by the officers has failed to
reveal anything concerning their past
life.
