agents. and stage managers. Plenty
OF young women are still anxious 10

has explained the situation thus:
During the var a large number Of
chorus girls. show girls and small
part ladies' left the stage for other
work. Some are remaining in It per
manentIy; others have not yet come
back 10 the theater.
Many girls. TOO. were married 70
