The modern chorus is often exploit ed by managers not, unfortunately, for what artistic merits it may be pos sessed of but rather for the physical attractiveness of it's female members the appeal being to the eye in pref erence to the ear.
 The history of the chorus, from the days of it's invention by the Greek dramatists, is a curiously interesting one. The performers in the Greek dramas were divided into three sharp ly defined classes, viz: chorus. actors and supers, and, be 1t we'll noted, that not only was the chorus mentioned first but it took precedence over the actors, for originally the members of the chorus were the only performers, the actors and the supers coming later The Greeks never employed women in the chorus and only free citizens were allowed to be members of it. The tragic chorus in the dramas and trag- edies consisted of 15, while the comic choruses always contained 24 mem bers.
 Contrast the stage of today, where woman is supreme, with the stage of mediaeval times when the mystery plays were all that the stage offered and women as 8 rule did not appear. Most likely the reason for excluding women from acting in the mysteries must be sought in old custom and

At the Lyric

Capacity audiences enjoyed one or the best balanced bills of the season at the Lyric Thursday evening, and the entertainment offered was varied, highly entertaining and amusing, Every act on the progfamme is ex- cellent.
 The entertainment starts when the Wheeler trio of acrobats are presented. This trio is probably the best of the acrobats ever presented here. They perform thrilling feats and thex do it without hitch. Applause follows their every feat and they were compelled to respond to several encores, some thing unusual for an acrobatic act.
 The second number on the bill is a petite young lady-J josephine Davis. Miss Davis can sing. and she has a pleasing personality which makes her an immediate favorite. Her song se- lections are up to the minute and the patriotic vein is prevalent. Her rem dition of T Don't Want to Get We'll" is splendid, and the same can be said of other renditions.
 Two black face entertainers-Bon Gaylord and Eva Lancton-are big laugh provokers and they have a brand new set of chatter, and their act is very novel and entertaining. 1t opens with the girls in black face and they engage in some bright chatter, song and dance. The scene then changes to a theatre dressing room and big fuss ensues. The comedy is fast and every sentence brings a laugh. These two girls are very clever.
 The Three Lyres furnish the musical entertainment on the bill and their selections are well chosen and enter taining. The comedian member of the trio is clever and keeps the audience in fine humor. Selections on divers musical instruments and good clean comedy feature this act.
 The last act on the programme fur
