I IERE is the story OF ONE chorus
girl who thinks only OF her
voice and her musical train

she wanted from Broadway.
She doesn't care for stage John

ster suppers or occasional nips from

All she wanted was a real Broad
way expe rience and a chance TO try
out her voice, and now:
A tall, willowy, pretty blue-eye
girl has her trunks all packed ana
labelled ARKANSAS" When ''her
show" where she is the leading
song bird in an octet, closes this week
she is going to hop on a train and

a girl really wants TO make good in
the theatre world she is just a. safe
from Washers and stage JOhnnies and
all those masculine aCqua 0utances who
keep girls from successful careers as
the stcnogrupher or any girl m the
