I~ HE musical molasses barrel has been
tipped over in Longacre Square and,
flowing north by west--half north
is seeping into the side streets upon which
give the various stage entrances OF our
ninety or hundred first class theatres and
rehearsal halls. This is the trail of the
August September chorus girl as she trips
gayly out of the subway taxi and silken
shod with dainty heel and ankle and frou-
frou swish of shiny lingerie proceeds on
her merry way TO learn the new songs and
dances which win presently lure the Nordc

over their newspapers as they are carried

gowned. slippered prettiness has joined the
monotonous daily morning traffic The call
for rehearsal is at hand--the call of the wild
and the call is for 10 o'clock
These perfumed visions are Broadway
chorus girls. my boy, on their way from
Harlem, Hoboken Richmond Hill and Ca

stepped out of bandbox. although the hour
is $3.50 or thereabouts. 1.-THE middle of the
night some of them call it, But no late
hours for them last night-at least not yet
They are on the job and don't you forget It,
Some of them are carrying music under their
long gioved or naked, cool. young arms, and
they are as fresh and tanned as though they
bad just emerged from the loving splashy
embrace of Father Neptune himself They
are the girls who have successfully passed
the preliminary voice trials and everything.
and some of them are holding parts
studying them too.
Ambitious? No name for it!
Perhaps this day will bring the chance TO
be principal, even If it be only the little
hover girl In the first act Who knows
but before noon at this rehearsal the pro-
ducer may say: TRY that girl out in the
part OF Polly or Ann. Perhaps some
clear voice in this mornings music re-

Greatest Girl Gambling Game
And the Most Wildly Exciting

It's the greatest girl gambling game in
the world and the most wildly exciting be-
cause 1t is so human, artlessly and fem
fninely ambitious-because the chances are
so great for spotlight fame.
watch the traffic policemen too espe-
cially around the old pasture now called
Longacre. the Circle and Forty-second
street 1t needs home loving eye at this
season OF the year to be a perfect husband
and wear the blue. All the colors of the
rainbow in silk, satin, lawn, taffeta and lace
are flashing in and out of the funereal
blacks browns and dingy whites of cars
cabs, curbs and coats
And If these flower gardens of adorable
femininity. bright eyed and busy, scorn the
lifting breezes or silken knee exposing two
foot steps from vehicle to street, Just re-
member that Gladys or Gwendolyn is on
her way to rehearsal, conscious Of a secure
toilet and with time to worry about
such things anyway. The call was made
for 10 o'clock, and it is now 10:15-lawful
leeway-the chorus girls immemorial aca-
demic quarter of an hour
Half consciously as she flashes by with
dazzling smile she cons the three irnmemo-
rial excuses for being late-held up in the
subway held up at the street crossing, held
UP in the elevator apartment.
It's poor fish who thinks a chorus girl
can't read his mind. Selahi
Now, here is what happens when she
passes from the sunny street into the dark
door of stage entrance or rehearsal hall like
butterfly folding its wings OF course, she
powders her nose-Gabriels trumpet can't
stop that. Then If the rehearsals are being
held in the theatre where the show is to
open she inquiries for her mail Passing
further along, the next thing she runs into
is the fellow who has been patiently call
ing the roll for a quarter of an hour past
and been doing it with liquid, worried look
in his eye too.
This individual is usually the assistant
stage manager of the production to be, and
his position right now is invidious one.
In one hand he holds the list of all the
names of the fifty seventy five girls con-
cerned. together with their addresses and
their telephone numbers. In the other hand
he clasps much befingered watch that does
yeoman service. What wouldn't the average
stage door Johnny give to get peep at that
secret list of telephone numbers
And how else can you expect this poor
boy who calls the roll to look in trying to
account for half a hundred pairs of pouting
lips when the daily papers frequently tell
us that millionaire has a hard time keep
ing track of just one chorus girl?

Among the Georgfans who went to
Boston with the Georgia University

foot ball scribe. Blake was surprised
at breakfast that the waiter did not
force upon him slab of rhubarb pie
and dish Of beans. They weren't
even on the menu. But what did in
terest him even more than Boston's
normal dietary scheme were the
manifestations of athletic activity at
Harvard. There are 1000 students
at the university" he says. "and it
would seem they were all out in the
afternoon. indulging in some form of
athletics. While the foot ball eleven
was active. the soccer teams and
tennis teams. track and crew and
base ball men were all in action.
Everything was going on except put
and take games"
In other words. Blake saw what it
was very desirable for a man of his
influence to see. He saw sports not
confined to a few gladiators, but
sports for the many interesting COM
petitive games and wholesome ex-
ercise for every single student.
He would have seen the same at
Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth
and other university seats that day. 1t
