that the high school is our one

highway over which society is
urging, more and more, our boys

The high-school period is the
time when -life-eareer" motives

What is the lure of the
stage?"
Why are so many young wom-
en- striving and struggling to get
positions in the chorus?
There's no other answer than
the statement that the lure of
the stage" comes from a view of
the fun that chorus girls have.
without any thought TO the work.
The chorus girls job. in most
cases, is about as hard as that Of
the washwoman who comes every
week to do up tie family wash
And the chorus girl isn't half so
Independent as the washwoman.
The Mere Man Critic thought
he'd find out something about
the chorus girls lot.
What Kind of soft lob IL

asked Frank Rich, who is pre-
senting musical comedy at Dom
nellan's Princess.

swered Rich. Come on back to

And the Mere Man Critic

performance of THE Girl From
Vassar."
The chorus came on first in
long gowns. It trooped off, hur-
ried up a flight of stairs to the
sbove-stage dressing rooms. and
came back in five minutes in
pony" costumes. It danced n
little dance and hurried back to
don fleshings. And the chorus
made eight complete changes of
costume during the show, run
ming up a flight of 80 steps each
time. and stripping down to bare
nofhingness each time to put on
the filmy and tight-fitting out
fits.
At least. the property lady said
that they did it. The Mere Man
Critic was content to take her
word for il.
Those chorus girls. give three
shows a day, making "a complete
