Argentine ThcatreTqipresarios At
Last Find Pretty Native Chorus Girls
Buenos Aires, Oct;. 13.—The thea
tre impressarios of Buenos Aaires
have at last developed what never
has been seen before on the local
stage—pretty, shapely and tuneful
Argentine choi girls.
In the past years foreigners who
saw the so-called revues in Buenos
Aires seldom went more than once.
They came away declaring that the
Argentine show girls were the most
awful collection of ill-looking, apa
thetic and voiceless specimens of
femininity they had ever seen.
Two years ago one enterprising
theatre manager imported a company
from Paris which included a chorus
of unusually good looking young wo
men. Last year two Paris companies
came, and althoug they played to

New York, Oct. 13.—When Edward
McCormack, Jr., 21, learned that
man who has cared for him as his
own for 18 years is not his real
father he sobbed piteously and prom
ised Kings county Judge Taylor that
will go straight.
McCormack and James Spencer
were found guilty of having commit
ted a burglary in Brooklyn. Spencer
was sentenced to five years in Sing
Sing. Then came McCormack's turn.
U I was 1 going to sentence you from
two to four years," Judge Taylor
began. “But I feel that you should
begin a new chapter in. your life.
This man," indicating Edward McCor
mack, whom you thought was your
father, has worked and cared for you
as his own. . Taking this into consid
eration, I shall give you five years of
strict probation. You are to live with
your foster father and do as he says.
He has done everything to keep you
straight, but you have failed. ft
“Do you mean to tell me this man
houses, the expense of bring
ing them such a long distance and
paying the salaries of the stars made
profits small. ‘ ■ .' - ......... ■■■ ' f
This season the local theatre man
agers decided they could produce
just as good from local talent by
making the effort to find it. Two of
them succeeded by offering high sab
aries, importing Parisian ideas for
costumes, selecting graceful young
women and employing efficient danc
ing and music masters to train them.
Both theatres have had the “S. R. O.”
sign out for two months, and Ameri
cans who have attended the per
formances exclaim: “Well, this is
more like New York.’.’

Cotton Letter
New York, Oct. 11.—Cotton ruled
easier today under the influence of
good weather and forecast, hedge
selling and some liquidation for the
two day adjournment, The Buying
was scattered, It was remarked
ynment report period had passed
that two thirds of the current gov
with favorable conditions for making
cotton and that the next indication
may be 12,600,000 or better.
A cable from India said their es
for trteir crop was six million against
5,200,000 last year
On the other hand a dispatch from
Manchester quoted an authority as
stating that the outlook in Lanca
shire was the best since before the
war with India and China their best

Majority opinion appears to be
that the market may work lower,
ultimate values depending to a con
