A v. i - Chicago, July i 20.-.Parada3tIcAl- ii 'U may seem, the. 'chorus girl wofks the hardest during her vacation.' - " In tha hottest part of. ths year the chorus girl finds herself jobless. Usu ally when the curtain is rung; down on her season's engagement she's "broke," Chorus girls rarely save money. - It be comes Imperative that she get some kind of work to tide her over until the fall staaoa openav- i, '., .' Naturally, she turns' her attention toward something In the same line. " She has several, courses open to her If she can "make good." She gets a place In the isummer parks, where the hardest work she ddes Is on tha bally-hoo out Jrr frontrdoes email vaudeville, tlm or Spends long, weary hours haunting the booking agencies In -hopes-that -ahe- may be numbered among the more fortunate ones at the. opening of next season. More tjten 8,000 of r particular branch of thr theatrical profession In Chicago are filling engagements In the summer parks while seeking an engage ment for next season. , ' N Changed by Pnnllo. The fastidious public has changed the cade more than any other one agency, The ranks are divided Into three classes the "broiler," the "medium" and the "snow girl." For- the most part the "broilers''- are picked to please the eye. It Is not a requisite that they have slnglng voice, as that Is left for the "mediums" and the ."show girls." Time was not so long ago when each show carried but one of these classes of chorus girls. Now the public de mands more contrast i. The "pony" makes up tha best for Scotch numbers and fits In where the large girl would not Then, again, the larger girl makes up as a society wom an much better than the "pony," so all shows must have several of eaeti In or der to have their show make a "hit." Bares Her Money. The ambitious girls sometimes saves enough money during her season's work that she can study after the show closes and In a few years comes to the front with a part and graduates from the ranks. As a rule, the chorus girl has no am bition other than "Just to be a chorus girl." There la always keen competition for "end" work, but otherwise the scope is not broad, for she prefers her work which Is directed In a general way to the individual work of a soubrette or prima donna. Borne of the chorus girls get engage ments In summer stock companies, but this class of shows is so small that the field is limited. The chorus girl "lives as she goes," and while some of them get as high as $40 a week the average salary Is from $18 to $25. This, of course, does not leave much surplus after hotel bills have been paid and the end of the sea son finds her Just as much In- need of work as the beginning. So the chorus girl works the hardest during hervacation -finding t jeb for next season. IRON-JAWED' MAN CAN BITE NAILS IN TWO A i. vV' 'I -ISA fv to I In" V 5 Joe Denuef, at the Oaks. Described as the "Iron-Jawed man" and with enough strength In his long white molars to grip a hivy Iron nail and clip it nearly Into two pieces with no more exertion than the average man would employ in clipping off a cigar, Joe Denuef Is one of the features of the Boyd & Ogle One-ring circus at the Oaks amusement park today. Denuef promises that he will lift up 12 heavy chairs with his teeth or that he will tip over a plank upon which a round dosen heavyweights are sitting. Despite the fact that he chews upon what ordin arily would be left to an ostrich, Denuef has not a solitary chip In any one of his heavy white teeth.

A half cent of 1795, with a bust of Washington on it and the only specimen known, was sold for $23. It is believed that the high cost of half-cents is what has started congress off on that scheme to coin them again. - A silver-centered cent of 1791 was ild In at $$30. An 1838 sllverollar cap tured $400, and an 1839 dollar $290." In 1877, there were a few $50 gold pieces struck, and on ofthem waa sold for $140. A gold eagle of 1798, never cir culated, brought $400, and an 1839 dol larr $20. For an eagle of 1797, $300 was Lpald, -It bore 15 stars, another of the same rar,. with 1 stars, brought $370. Kathl Gultlnlwho Is listed as the foremost woman juggler of the world, will appear at the Orpheum this week.

She has-nppeared-before-Toyaltjr at -"com mand" performances and has received several medals for performing at soci ety functions abroad In behalf of char ity. Mademoiselle Oultinl has been likened to the, noted Salerno- for her ex pertises In Juggling five-articles and a dramatic critic In St Paul, Minn., noted that she has at least three tricks not attempted by masculine Jugglers. j PLAYS AND PLAYERS ; May de Sousa Is in vaudeville In Scot land. : .

When, in j 1776, Jefferson was writing the declar? ation of Independence and Oeorge Wash-; Ington was helping the good work along by chasing the British . around, a all- j ver dollar was coined that a whole lot of people snorted at and said It was n. g., because It did not bear the mug of George III. It did bear a sun dial and the advice, "Mind your business." Today there are only two of these coins known to be In existence, and one of them, in the collection of Oeorge H. Earle, Jr., sold recently for $2200. But the price was eclipsed when a gold eagle of 1788 was put upr W course, by 1798 we had a cinch on the country and people had more respect for our money. Besides the coin was gold and would have brought $10 worth of stuff anywhere in the 13 states then. It Is now said to be the rarest gold coin of a regular series known, and Henry Chapman thought enough of It to pay $3000 cash for It. American coins struck a bull market during the sale yesterday. It seems that every one thought a lot of them and had &t the Preparation of New Play Spreads Over Many Quarters of the "Globe Perhaps never before have so many different sections of the globe been wttness o the arduous work involved In the preparation of a stage spectacle than In the present instance of the forthcoming presentation of "The Daughter of Heaven" at the Century theatre. New Yotk. In the little town of Rochefort, in the Basque country and at the foot of the Pyrennes, Pierre Lotl. one of the authors of the play, and George C. Tyler, repre senting The Liebler Co., the plays pro ducers, are at present engaged In dally conferences over the details of staging. In London, George Egerton (Mrs. Gold ing Bright) is putting the finishing touches on her English adaptation, keep ing in touch with the progress of the others concerned in the production through Frederick Stanhope, stage man ager of the theatre at which "The Daughter of Heaven" is to be played. Hugh Ford, the stage director, under whose supervision the dreams of the authors are to be visualised, is working out his problems In his native Califor nia. In Milan, Italy, in the workshop of the foremost theatrical costumer of the world, the designs for many of the 600 costumes to be required in the produc tion have already been drawn. In an obscure corner of Europe sits a famous musician, writing entre-acte music for the drama, though he refuses to let his name be used in connection with the production, until he haa assured him self that he has succeeded in catching the dreamy yet convincingly Chinese atmosphere of the original work. In China, tho locale of the play, a princess of the blood Is compiling a careful rec ord of the ritual and ceremonial of the imperial court, eo that the scenes In the palace may be faithfully enacted. From there has Just returned the American Journalist sent by The Liebler Co. to Pekin and Nanking, to secure photo graphs, sketches and descriptions of the actual scenes of the play, as well as a full set of Chinese musical Instru ments and such properties as it would be difficult or Impossible to reproduce here. In Australia, a popular actress Is struggling to be released from contracts that will enable her to appear In an Important part in the play to which she Is particularly well suited.

On the stage of the theatre, electricians are experi menting with the -effects of various blue and violet lights upon bits of canvas painted In shades of grey and slate. In order that a stunning moonlight effect may be obtained for the battle scene. And finally, in her little tower of Ivory, oft top of a Paris apartment house, Judith Gautler, collaborates- with Pierre Lotl In writing the play, sits en grossed in astronomical calculations, figuring out the most auspicious mo ment In the latter part of September for the premier of the play. While the1 production of 'The Daugh ter" of Heaven" Is still three months off, there are already over 00 people spend ing the bulk of their time in its prep aration. It is inconceivable that a spectacle of such proportions can be staged at an Initial cost of less than 1100,000. Once produced it will require another year of record-breaking busi ness, such as that enjoyed by Its prede cessor, "The Garden of Allah," to meet the expense of maintenance. MATINEE EVERY DAY I Week.
