<ALS0 is "STOCK CRAZY"

Duluth is just as stock crazy as you
are I'm the copper country" said Mart
Adson. general passenger agent of the
South Shore railroad to The News
this morning. Il was counting the
advertisements OF small brokerage
firms in a Duluth paper a few days
ago, and found no less than Is, all OF
these firms being located in Duluth
and all doing business.
"Yes. Duluth is booming" said Mr.
Adson in response to a question. "This
is reflected in the real estate values in
the city. While there is no unusual
activity in real estate still there is "A
steady increase, which is reflected In
general trade conditions"
Speaking of passenger travel on the
South Shore. Mr.. Adson said it is bet
ter at this season of the year than ever
before in his recollection. Between
Jan. 10 and February it is usually very
quiet" said Mr.. Adson, but this year
conditions are much different. 1t was
impossible to get berth out of Duluth
last night other than those that had
been booked ahead, every berth being
occupied

that is her only fear, permit me to
inform her that she need have no
worries about that. She must have
good looks, that is all, and the more
of this she has the less important
becomes her voice.
At the opening rehearsals of a
musical comedy at a New York
playhouse last summer the stage
manager lined up the chorus girls
in various groups for the business
of certain musical number.
"Oh, that won't do, old man."
protested the musical director, who
was also composer of the piece and
therefore was taking great interest
in the affair. That won't do, be-
cause you've got lot of the con-
traltos with the sopranos, and the
effect of my music will be entirely
lost"
Is it necessary to have them
divided" asked the stage manager.

course, pay to the management!
Did the chorus girls complain? Hardly. If they
had there would have been other ways for the manage
ment to make up the dollar Besides girl who has
hearsed for six long weeks without salaryneeds the
money that is given her. This seems like a pretty
small matter does it not? 1t must be remembered that
this producing firm employed some seven or eight hun
dred chorus girls and thus saved about hundred
dollars
Well. now the seasc-. is under full sail. The new
piece is success, which means, supposing that it is
produced in New York Chicago, that there will be
travelling for considerable time. 1t is that the
chorus girl the very best of the life For week,
perhaps, the rehearsas to make changes in the piece
will take up of her time; but after that if all goes
well, she will have her days to herself and spend
them about she pleases.

dollars for luxuries and necessities in the way
of clothes. Oh, no, little shopgirl, the man
agement does not provide the clothes that the
Iii. ytu think it did, Nor does it pay any of
her expenses either.
Tie shopgirl may revel in thinking of the
luxLry of not having to rise before noon.
Many a chorus girl remains in her bedroom
up to that hour because she wants to save the
price of a breakfast, and because time hangs
less heavy while she is asleep. What is there

point she had overlooked.

weeks2 Why, how do the girls liver"
Ill tell you, little shopgirl. Those of
the girls who have been in the chorus
for a season or more have probably
formed connections with the landlady of
some theatrical boarding house, who
takes risk in letting them remain her
guests, but is moved by feeling of pity
born from her own experiences and al

the McCaull Opera Company. or the Casino
cohorts under the Aronsons, when real
comic operas were produced, the beauty

in thu songs of the prima donnas. Alas!
those days have gone, and the day of the
chorus girl whose sole stock in trade is her
beauty has come to take their place.
Well, having passed the critical eye of
the stage manager who engages the chorus,
the new girl finds little difficulty in dis
covering what he has to do. After few

Absolutely. The contraltos must sung over here

The stage manager pondered for moment Then he
found the solution. Here, he said to the girls, stay
just where you are; but all the sopranos I've put
with the contratos sing contralto and all the contra
tos I've put the soprano side sing soprano.

OF course, if a chorus girl really needs
money during rehearsals, she can some
times draw little in advan e from the

dollars. The management is certain of

piteous cry, emanating
from the offices of theatrical
managers, is echoing round the
country. 1t always echoes
round the country when mana
gers are beginning to form their
musical comedy companies for
the coming season. There is
never any dearth of star come

chorus girls seems never to
meet the demand, and, just as
sure as it is that a musical COM

be as fat as buckwheat cakes

mand must be met. So out
goes the cry, and the agencies
that provide chorus girls scurry
around corraling all they can

are written, and the tip is cir
culated by word of mouth.
The result is soon felt. In
