YOU NEED

A class ad. II will save you
much time and much trouble.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-09

1t remains for the chorus girls to
break these records. A picture shows
them in their dressing room with only
four minutes to dress for the big num-
ber, THE Tale of a Bundle Bee in
which they are later seen with Miss
Barnett as Annette and William Friend
as King Dodo-and they have no maid
to help them either They have to be
dressed with absolute, correctness. So
cicty women who require one hour
make no excuses for lack of proper
gowning of the chorus girl.
The layman may insist that the
gowns are only hung" and are not
built as substantially as street clothes,
but quite the reverse is true in both
cases, for modiste was never more par
ticular with her patrons in society
than the wardrobe mistress whose
charges are responsible to her for
their dressing. The performance of
King Dodo'' lasts about two hours
and twenty minutes. The chorus g rls
have many changes to make. Fifty
one minutes are spent in dressing and
changing, forty-seven minutes before
the audience, and the balance of the
time they have for rest and waits in
the wings. And the problem still re-
mains, How long should it take for
a woman to dreSS?'
