AT THE
THEATERS
CHORUS GIRL TALKS
FOR PUBLICATION

The chorus which will be seen at
the Academy tomorrow. Friday and
Saturday and Saturday matinee with
Frederick V. Bowers in I'm So
Happy has been called the Peacock
Alley chorus and the name Is an apt
one, for the girls are all pleasantly
suggestive OF Broadway and Its
environs,
One Of the prettiest girls In this
organization declares that the life of
the chorus girl is the Ideal one for
any girl who aspires to independent
womanhood.
I'm this business" she says, "a girl
learns self-reliance. She learns 10
make her own plans and to execute
them. She mixes with men great
deal, but she always attends to her
own affairs. for in a show every one
has to look out for him Of herself.
You have to see to it that YOU get
the train for nobody else will, you
have to make sure that your baggage
Is ready on time and you are obliged
to attend to the thousand and one
little details.
II wouldn't swap places with any
rtrl in any other walk of life. / like
this being obliged TO paddle your own
canoe and really chorus life Is enjoy
able. 1t isn't like work at ALL although
IL is In reality very hard work to do.
X find that most chorus girls enjoy
II so, however, that they find 1t rather
more work than play"
How about MARRIAGE" she was
asked.
Well. we girls do not think much
OF that" was her reply. You see we
have been independent so long that
we hesitate about surrenderpg our
independence and bowling down to a
lord and master. But chorus girls
have always been in demand for wives
and when they desire to marry they
usually make good catches. And
although you may not believe it
chorus girls make good wives. You
read in the newspapers about the
J glaring case OF chorus girl who WEEDS
rich young man and how they sepa.
/ rate after few months of fighting
! Bat these Cases are exceptions and
| mime chorus girls out of ten make
good wives"

without referring specifically to the
presidents coming visit to Europe. Mr.
Burleson says:
There never was a time In the his
tory Of this war for which this joint
resolution was passed giving the
president the right to control the wire
such close control of the cable sys-
tenn as today, and will continue dur
ing the period Of readjustment. The
absolute necessity of uninterrupted,
continuous communication should be
apparent to all"
The recent breakdown in one OF thu
ables and the necessity of having
control so that the traffic can be d.
verified to any line Is also cited.
There are many other reasons for
taking over the cables which have been

they must not charge for private

they actually pay for them.
The first formal announcement with
respect to the wage complaints of
telephone and telegraph employees also
was made by Mr.. Burleson. He said
the subject is not an easy one with
which to deal. but that he desires TO be
just and will dispose OF the matter as
Isoon as possible. He has urgent< re-

says.
Meanwhile" Mr. Burleson adds.
the employees should keep in mind
that just as public employees are paid

so changes cannot be made as rapidly
