ADJUSTMENTS.
eTHE CHORUS LADY.s

aThe Chorus Lady is one person
show and the company that appeared at
the FL Paso theater Saturday and sun
dav nights lacked THE person. The
star should really be the whole show;
it was written as a stars show and
Rose Stahl made Of the part and the
show one Of the greatest successes on
the American stage.
Grace AylesWorth, who Rakes the
Rose Stahl part in the company that
has just been here. is totally unequal
to such q part She fails in every re-
Quirement; all the fat" lines Of the
author go to waste in her hands and
she just manages to drag through with
the piece and that is all
The rest of the company is in fairly
capable hands. in fact the show could
be said to be good of the leading

pable Of Interpreting it as It should
be interpreted
The Chorus Lady" is another of
James FOrbes's splendid satires on
American life, with plenty of plot and
lots Of comedy. but the best comedy
lines are given to the lead and in the
organization just seen here the lead
fails to 'get them over the foOtnghtS.
The play tells the story Of the sacri-
flee of a girl in the chorus to save
her little sister in the same show from
stage doors Patricia O'Brien-known
as "Pat"-in attempting to save the
sister from the man who pretends to
love her, is found in his, apartments
and compromises herself in the eyes Of
her sweetheart and her own mother.
but the sweetheart stratghtens it all
out finally. The piece is full of rich
American slang-if slang is ever rich
and there are many unique situa tons.
The second act shows the dressing room
of a theater and the scenes and CONVEX
satiOns are at least unique, not to say
startling, to some people.
