New York, Aug. 14.-Several. times
this space has contained tattle about
the typical Manhattan chorus CALL"
The process of picking cuties for the
night club and revue stages of the
town continues to fascinate me.
Thus the other day when the Para
disc sent out the word that it was
in the market for a new crop of de-
corative lassies, went over and hung
around while George Hale, the pro-
fessional picker and trainer of
choruses, held court amid the glooms
and high-voltage flares of the big club
at two in the afternoon.
Hale, an eX-hoofer of prominence on
vaudeville stages, is a wiry and hand
some little man who lives almost en-
tirely on nervous energy. He was eat
ing aspirin tablets "for my heart"
when I arrived, fighting a summer
cold and keeping some hundred young
women in a Kaleidoscope of tapping
and prancing around him.
Twill you girls smile?" he cried po-
litely into the microphone, COR don't
you like to-"
Among the half hundred who were
gyrating directly in front of him on
the raised stage a number of grins
appeared 1t is amazing what a smile
will do to some girls faces. Often a

pretty countenancea will so to pieces |
altogether at the first flash of teeth,
the first upcurl of mouthcorners. 9th
er visages, normally somber and for
bidding, take on charm mad vitality If
the smile is not of the prop variety.
Say something funny, Mr.. Hale,
one youngster quipped. 1--WE can't
smile unless you say something fun
n.y."
But at that they all smiled and Mr..
Hale was spared the effort.
l remarked to him, as he sat check
ing names on a long pad of legal paper
that the females who had offered
themselves at this call seemed to be
above the average in looks of the US
ual turnout.
Lord, it was job getting them to
come" he sighed. "It has been funny,
too. Several of us have been riding
around in taxicabs for days-through
the garment district, along Park
Avenue and even the residential sec
tons of Brooklyn. Every time we saw
a pretty girl we'd stop her and sell
her bill of goods that she ought to
be in the chorus at the Paradise. You
see, we didn't want just the crowd
that regularly turns up at chorus
call; we wanted some extra-special
lockers
l expressed amazement that he had
the nerve to walk up to girls on the
street and begin a conversation.
Didn't he get slapped or introduced
to a cop on OCCASION before the spot
less motives behind his action could
! be conveyed?
! ooh, I'm too shy to do it myself"
| he exclaimed. Il let Joe Russell, the
clubs public relations counsel, do
| that. Nothing can faze him. 1 sit back
in the cab and wait until the girls
are led up"
1t sounded like good work if you
can get it. He went on:
Chorus work offers more to girls
than it used to. Now they have a
chance to go to London, or to South
America or to South Africa. There's
constant exchange of girls going on.
They travel around and by the time
they're twenty-one they feel they're
seen the world and are willing to set
tie down and raise a family. That's
what they all ought to do,' he finish
ed virtuously.

Random Notes

Today we publish the Virgin Islands
tax bill as passed by the Congress. This
new system will introduce a new order of
things that is bound to cause pain to
many.
No one can deny that the old system of
taxation is archaic and unfair and that
while it might have. been adequate fifty
years ago it has outlived its effectiveness
because it was not being amended to keep
pace with the changing of time
That a general increase in tax assess
ments will result seems a foregone con
clusion, though the officials who were
pushing this bill said no. What should
be borne in mind is that the motive of the
Bill is tax adj ustment = to minimize the
tax burden for those who were over taxed
and to make increases whers the taxes
paid are inadequate.
Many citizens have expressed satisfac.
ton with the new holiday ordina ice. DR..
Ganegata gave sigh of relief the even
ing when the final vote on the Bill was
taken. For years he has been urging that
our people. especially those employed
In or operating business houses impair
their health through failure to take rec.
reRrion. II is hoped that the early closing
Oh Thursdays will be an encourage
ment TO those who need more outdoor life
The Municipal Committee will meet to.
