''Bad?" She Says. Good
ness, No! There's
No Chance"

From time to time the press publishes
editorials. and the pulpit gravely dis
cusses the morals Of the stage. never
falling to concentrate special attention
and apply many adjectives and super
iatives In sole criticism of that species,
the like Of which there Is no other.
The Chorus Girl. This criticism Is not
always adverse. for the chorus girl has
many loyal supporters. but there Is al
ways a certain large loophole which ad-
mits Of all sorts Of terrible doubts and
leaves the gentle reader vaguely won
dering upon Just which side Of the fence
the writer was after all.
The truth Of II II, that they" are
generally men, and never under any
condition could they be chorus girls.
They might get In the chorus, but al
though some OF them look It, they never
could be girls, therefore whatever spark
of knowledge they may think they pos

The only person qualified to tell the
tale as It should be, is the chorus girl.

Miss Stoy Declares
Chorus Is Convent.
According to Miss Dorothy stoy. who
is playing In "The Rose Maid" at the
Columbia this week. the chorus Is a
regular convent, and as strict as any
finishing school In tho country. Saying
that II 10 q convent is a tribe strong.
but what Miss stoy means is that there
Is just about as much opportunity for
the girl who is trying to perfect herself
In her art, and who works hard. to
spend her time with "mashers" as II
Is for a girl in a convent.
Men are scarcer than In well guarded
schools" she says. "why did you ever
try to pass the man at the door? And
he Is the least OF your troubles"

but with the society girls who look
earnestly and little iongingly at her
from the front Of the house.
II was a combination Of looks. brains,
and figure that promoted Miss stoy
from the back row to the prominent
place In the front row, and she is not
one OF the three score girls in Tho
Rose Maid" to be overlooked, but rather
one to be looked over by the man who
insists upon having a seat in one OF
the first three rows.
While am mentioning the chorus Of
"rhe Rose Maid," may say In passing
that have never seen q much more
pleasing ensemble. whether OF men or
women. Every single girl acted as
though she were having a good time
Part of this was perhaps due to the
real smile Of BERTHE. played by Charles
Compton. and the open and cheerful de-
ception OF the Countess, Juliet Dika.
Whatever II was. the funmaking was SO
spontaneous and genuine as to force re-
peated encores.
"The Rose Maid"
One Of the Very Best.
The score of ''The Rose Maid" has
been compared by many who have
| heard It with the Chocolate Soldier"
| "The Merry Widow" THE Love Cure"
and "Ths Spring Maid" having been
| called the twin sister OF the latter.
Though "The Rose Maid" ID distinct
ly reminiscent Of all these musical
| comedies, II possesses no prominent
stamp OF individuality that could put
the music on q higher plane than
| these. The success. as have said
before, of an opera depends upon the
choosing of q single musical theme.
and OF delicately weaving II in and
out Of the entire piece. This the COM
poser OF "The Rose Maid" has not
done, and while the fault Is not q
serious one, or one that detracts In
any way from the enjoyment of an
evening spent In listening to THE
Rose Maid" Il prevents an audience
from carrying away any distinct
memory Of the melodies. When pass
ing out Of the theater after the per.
formance Of the Chocolate Soldier
II was not unusual to hear q dozer
people humming or whistling my
Hero" or after a performance Of "Ths
Merry Widow" even the most un.
musical of persons will be haunted b,
a little ghostlike tune that Is unmis
takably THE Merry Widow" waltz
Many Of the numbers Of THE Ros
Maid" are captivating and charming
but music, like the drama, must b,
woven about central theme. -
Same Fault With -
Comedy Of the Show.
The same fault may be found in tn,
comedy element OF "The Rose Maid.
