on the stage takes as It's toll.
First, there is the desperate
battle for a "place in the sun. "
There are thousands upon
thousands of girls, young, beautiful
and somewhat talented, who are
storming the gates of the theater.
To fight your way through mob
of that kind, you must possess
something more than beauty and
mediocre talent. First of all con-
slider seriously whether you have
anything definite and worthwhile
to offer your producer and the the
ater-going public.
Topsy- Turvy Life
Next there is the unstable and
hectic life you will be thrown into.
Irregular hours, hours diane Urlcally

night.
When girls are as young as II
their health demands regularity II
they wish to be strong, wholesome
looking women. Most of the young
girls who wish to try their luck on
the stage do it via the chorus girl
route. Any girl interested in be-
coming an actress of the drama,
realizes the years of study it re-
ouires for success. She crashes the
gate only after arduous work.
The chorus girl must put up with
many inconvenience. When she is
older, they do not count as incon-
veniences, but when she is just II
they are real trials, such as going
on the road with the show, or il in
vaudeville, the constant changing of
address.
That all sounds very romantic
and interesting. of course. But it
isn't. It's annoying. For On the
salary an inexperienced chorus girl
receives, only the most modest and
cheapest hotels are possible.
