and one theater advertised today for
female impersonators to replace depart
ing coryphees and song birds Relief
was promised from San Francisco last
night. Chorus girls from that city are
expected to arrive during the week,
lured by the famine salaries that pre-

One theater that produces musical
comedies was reduced to one chorus
girl last night.
The cause of the dearth is said by
managers to be the multitude of musi-
cal comedy stock companies in the
city. Six theaters are using chorus
girls and other companies. are being
formed for the summer season at the
beach resorts. These have consumed
all the visible supply.
