Troupe-Trouble Aired

The wild newspaper stories regard
ing the gay life of the chorus lady the
midnight champagne suppers, the taxi
rides and the millionaire stage door
JOhnnies with their jewelry gifts, were
prosaically repudiated in police court
yesterday afternoon, when three &C
tresses who nightly cavort behind the
footlights of the Family theatre with
the Niles-Murphy Musical Comedy
company, swore out warrants against
c. H. Niles, angel of the company,
and his wife, charging that harsh, vile
and inelegant words were flung at
them, when they mildly asked for their
back salary. As a result, the three
girls, Mabelle Parker, Ursula Carter
and Madge Harris are today richer by
some s4S and the show is minus a
hacker, as Mr.. and Mrs. Niles have mi
grated to other climes. The company
is now under the management of Mr..
Murphy, the producer, and all troubles
have been eradicated for the once.
No SALARY.
The girls revealed the narrowing de-
tails of the so-called gay life of the
chorus butterfly yesterday afternoon.
According 10 their statement, the show
opened at Boone, Iowa, Niles agreeing
TO finance the proposition. After play
ing several weeks out in ''Ioway," the
company jumped TO Rock Island where
it has been playing for the past week
The girls claim that Niles was too
much of a financier, and that instead
of paying them their wages, he
grabbed all the box office receipts
which were turned over to his wife for
safe keeping.
Go ON STRIKE.
The girls are stopping at the New
Harper, and Sunday evening, when
they demanded their salary, Mrs. Niles
uncorked a stage laugh and advised
them TO seek funds elsewhere. The
Misses Parker, Carter and Harris re-
fused to ''go on" the second show IN
less they were paid off, and as a re-
suit, there were several musical num-
bers and dancing features absent at
performance No. 2 Yesterday, the
girls again demanded their pay, and
received nothing but abuse They then
