known by his pell name of Owen Hail.
Il is not because be has Hie books of
“A Gaiety G rl.' 'The Geisha." and "The
Silver Slipper” io his credit that Mr. Hall
has a claim on i iie gratitude of the
show girl. These productions stamp
him as tlu host librettist since Gilbert,
but my lady of the footlights cares;
nothing about that.
The thing that gives Mr. Hall his
claim on her is the fact that he wrote
"Florodora'’ and evolved a new style
of chorus girl.
Prior to "Klodora" the chorus girl
wore the same kind of fleshings ilia: had
been the vogue since the days when
the "Black Crook ' first shocked the
country No one had ever had the ori
ginality to suggest a change. It had
gone out of the fashion to fall captive to
this creature of pads and paint.
Only a few insipid Johnnies clung to |
the stage door in admiration of this ven
erable type.
But suddenly a metamorphosis was ef
feeted.
The show girl was lifted to a pedestal j
such as she had never occupied before.
Diamonds, automobiles, flowers. Wall j
street winnings and millionaire husbands j
were tirofferr, d to tier.
The Klodora fever had done its work, j
•lid the new chorus girl was launched ;
sin her glittering career.
What Mr. Hall did was simple,
enough, perhaps, but it remained for him j
in he the one to think of it.
CLOTHES NOT A DRAWEACK TO
THE CHORUS.
First lie decided that beauty unadorned
was not necessarily beauty most adorn- ]
ed. so he began by giving the chorus girl]
some clothes. In place of the tights of j
tradition she was equipped with a su-,
peril Paris gown and hat that the.
wealthiest woman in the world need not

tlu' annals of the stage has
such an enthusiasm been recorded for :
any one number in an opera. it was
nothing unusual to hear the sextette re
pealed a dozen times, and the six stun
ning girls who composed the feminine
half of the number, leaped into a pop
ularity that made t h< m the envied of
t heaterdom.
It is a frequent mistake *o say that
Nan Patterson and Kvelyn Ncsbit Tiiaw
were members of tha: famous “Original''
sextette, but they were not Nan Patter-!

a Number Three company. She had no!

Evelyn Nesbit Tl^i vv was in t!ic open- !
lng New York production of liie opera.'
but she never attained io the dignity of j
being in the sextette that made the sue-j
cess of the work. Nature had never 1
adapted her for such a role. She lacked j
the height and distinction. The best she !
got was the small role of a flower,
maiden, who d,jpic»d in the background j
and scattered llowers.
Since the fame of “Klodora” wont j
round the country, it has become a fash-i
ion to ciass every girl who figures in a i lights
sensational incident as one of the original man*!

was monotonous.
Complacency was Amanda's Ann's chief
characteristic. Her good nature was pro

telling her at least twenty years. “You

You better had come and make me a

ef you’d sprig yourself up a bit.”
But Amanda Ann had reckoned that
as ’Ldzbeth know nothing about mend
ing. the Bord must have sent her
there to do the mending for her; and
no one but agreed that ’Bizbeth would
suffer a great loss if deprived of her
sister’s services.

INOCUOUS VANITY.
i From Lippineott’s.j
As gold is never put into circulation
without some alloy, so perhaps for this
world's use some alloy is needed in the
gold of character. Tlie only questions
are. What alloy and how much? I
shall try to answer the question as to
kind and leave to individual discre
tion tlie question as to quantity. A
great actor once said that all men
have vanity, but some conceal it more
successfully than others. If vanity he
:t universal trait, we may take it as
that alloy which is necessary to our
active and circulating usefulness. it
is decried by all moralists, preached
against in all pulpits and everywhere
believed to be as undesirable as it is
universal. Nevertheless, in youth at
least, a certain degree of it may be
necessary. Vanity is like tlie kindly
