ed in Time Of Ptolemy i,

II must have been about the time OF
Ptolemy the Second that the mst
young man carried the news to his
father that he had fallen in love with
fair chorus girl. Said young man
evidently used to. hang around the
stage door in Alexandria when the
Menothes Baby Dolls were going
strong at the Sphinx Theater.
The young Egyptian started some
thing that has made history, as year
after year other young men continue
to haunt the stage door Of the show
shops waiting for the fair young be-
ings who fit about before the calcium
and call the young man away from
his labors.
According to Minnie Vanderwoort.
leader of the Teal Ducklings at the
Bfjou, Honolulu, Phoenix, Arizona, and
Ell Paso. Texas, are the three centers
known throughout the world as the
Gretna Greens for the chorus girl. I
can't tell you why the other towns are
called that said the leader OF the
chorus, "but Honolulu has so many
charms that do not wonder that the
girls want to stay here. There Is q
rumor going around the theater at
present that one Of the girls will re-
main here permanently.
This hanging around the stage door
by Johnnies Is getting to be thing
OF the past. The old expression.
Hello, dearie, lets 60 for ride, does
not appeal to the hard working girls
of the profession. We have our friends
and they are always welcome, but II
isn't often that we have the time for
frivolities.
"We all work hard. People In gen.

completed the young ladies' do not
have much time for anything else. II
seems that the big qualification tor.
the chorus Is q memory and an adapt
ability for hard work at all times.
When asked regarding the marriage
question, Miss Vandervoort answered
aPlenty Of girls marry out Of the pro-
fession and are happy. A girl from
the chorus will appreciate young
man who is making good. He doesn't
have to be rich. As long as he sup

who marries the chorus girl must have

has been wised up to the situation.

how his wife has become possessor Of
a baby, a note referring to the dog

other elements in the farce are q

variety; a very deaf old chap who is
