CHORUS LADIES" AT TUBS.
Laundry Popular Feature Of Charlotte
CuShmap Club

Philadelphia, Pa. Dec. 10.-The idea
of a chorus girl bending over washtub
is as mcongruous to the average non
theatrical person as the idea Of wash
woman eloping with the son of n million
aire.
Those who view the theatrical pro-
fession only across the footlights and
study it only through the newspapers,
know very well that the ladies OF the
chorus spend their leisure drinking cham
pagne and inducing wealthy brokers to
write letters which can afterwards be
produced in court and published.
Singularly disillusioning to such per
son would be visit to the Charlotte

seems to have attracted little attention

had enough insight to perceive that {,
woman on the stage is still woman, ana
therefore appreciates a quiet home and
chance To mend her stockings and get a
little laundry donc-or even do 1T herse1.
LAUNDRY Is POPULAR.
The Charlotte Cushman Club is Just
such a place. and one of the most popular
parts OF it is the laundry. where the hard
working and poorly-paid chorus girl is
allowed to wash her own clothes.
This club is home for women OF the
theatrical profession. 1t is not refuge
for retired or old actresses, but a home Tor

waiting for an engagement 1t was found

an industrious hard working woman who
