SISTERS CHOOSE

Two Go to Chorus, One to

NEW YORK, September 27.-Under
the glare of the footlights, kicking
their shapcly legs high, two sisters
nightly dance In the chorus Of a
Broadway revue.
In the dimness of a country con-
vent a brown-robed figure, sister to
about her novitiate duties, her rosary
dangling from her belt
The story of these three sisters who
have chosen such widely divergent
careers came to light when the young
nun renounced tho vanities Of this
life on the same day her younger
sisters opened in Earl Carols ''Vani-
ties"
Betty and Bobbie Condouris elected
Broadway, Athena the convent Of
Mount ST. Francis at Peekskill. for
their habitat. all with the full consent
OF their mother. Mrs. Lillian Con-
douris of 101 Quincy street. Brooklyn.
The kid sisters" Of Athena are
pretty. bobbed haired, peppy and gay,
delighted with their work, finding the
stage all that they hoped it would be.
Radio Bri.x~ Cau.
With a slight lisp. demure, Bobbie
told how the idea occurred to them
to go on the stage.
Betty and l were sitting alone one
evening in our living room, listening
to the radio. Betty tuned in on all
the nearby stations, switching back
and forth until we struck something
that appealed to US. Suddenly we
hoard pleasant voice ask for pretty
girls with good figures and neat
ankles to report for a tryout as
chorus girls, bringing with them one
piece bathing suita Betty and l look
ed at each other. Did we have the
qualifications? said that Betty
would certainly be fitted and she said
that l would undoubtedly make the
chorus. We were both right.
On our first visit to the managers
US, and after the rehearsals started
mother came several times, fully ap-
proving Of our parts in the show.
Our older sisters, Helen and May
made an awful lot OF fun of us those
first days. They used to ask US
whether we had been thrown out. and
when the blow would fall. But we
showed them all right"
Bobbie An Unasr4tudy.
Bobbie. who is understanding one
of the principals in the show, took
dancing lessons for years and has
studied at the Metropolitan Opera
Ballet School two seasons. Betty is
totally unframed, but reveals an apti-
tude for jazz steps. Theatrical work
will not hold her long. Bobbie says,
as she wants to become a great dane
ing teacher. Coming home when
everybody else is going to work is
the most distasteful part of her pro-
fession to Bobbie. Betty, however
can find no fault with life as a chorus
girl.
Both girls would like to enter the
movies, but Bobbie fears she would
not be able to dance as much as she
likes on the silver sheet.

pairy COW Population increasing

.
/ Morgan county's dairy COW popu
flation is increasing according tc
4 fisures announced by the Blue Val
I lev Creamery Institute The state
ment covers an area embracing ap.
I proximately ,one-eighth of the state
! in this section, and is believed to
| hold true for the county proper. A
! so percent gain in the number OF
dairy COWS two years old and over i2
noted for the district over the pre-
ceding year, while the increase for
Ithe state as a whole was 40 percent
as compared with 1923. The entire
United States shows an increase
amounting to percent, government
figures show.
The number of heifers one to
two years old as compared to the
total number of cows in this dis
trict seem to be above the average,
indicating the intention to bring
more young stock into milk in the
near future In citing these figures
the institute calls attention to the
fact that the United States needs
100000 more cows every year il
production is to keep step with the
normal growth of demand for dairy
products. There are 1,412,000 more
mouths to be fed in the United
States with every passing year and
with the increased consumption of
dairy products per capita, this added
number to the nations herd will
barely suffice to meet the increased
demand.
