to Create
Rest Rooms
Circuit Will Look
After Comfort of
Ladies.

n. H. HERK, president Of the
4 Mutual Burlesque Association,
has instructed all of the house man
ayers on his circuit which en-
braces fifty theaters, to give special
attention during the summer to
the furnishing OF their ladies
parlors" and have them ready for
the opening Of the season in August.
Until recently, this was one adj
junct Of a theater that had been
given scant consideration in the up
keep of some burlesque theaterS for
the very good reason lady patron
age was too scarce to Justify it.
For the past few seasons, how
ever, lady attendance at all points
on the Mutual circuit has so greatly
increased. the necessity for provid-
ing for their comfort and cOnven-
fence, before and after the perform
ances and between acts, has become
imperative.
This move upon Mr.. Herk's part
is taken as an important indication
Of the growing popularity Of Mutual
productions among women theater
goers everywhere.
Obviously, this style of burlesque,
at least, no longer may be classed
as "for men only
And it is not accounted for so
much by reason of the changes that
have been made in this form OF
amusement as it is an expression
OF the change in public attitude to-
ward stage performances generally
and toward burlesque in particular;

Play is the ultimate in incoherence. made
up Of disjointed rehexes from a vague re-

There are probably hundreds Of such man

Performance battles description. Curtain
