w If the ingredients are known. and they exist.
why are the musical comedies SO deficient in
this, the chief excuse for their existence? Other
forms of stage entertainment depend for success upon
ability. talent, gifts OF the mind rather than of the
body; but without beauty in the chorus the lighter
musical stage productions are waste Of money-as
the sequel invariably proves . w.. ,..
This has been dirastrous season for musical com
edy productions has the percentage OF real
beauty in the choruses been so low Is the visible
supply of pretty chorus girl material exhausted? Or
don't the musical comedy managers know where to

and therefore has more anxious interest in chorus
girl beauty than anybody else these questions
put to him-with the result here printed.
