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

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.

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.
Eva Tanguay is to start on a high
priced road tour next season, It is said,
playlng'but two days in any one city.

PROMISES MADE BY
THE PRESS AGENTS
desire was so strong that they were
willing to part with large bunches of
money that will be found In private
collections a thousand years from now
for cents, half cents, etc., as well as
dollars and eagles. :
There, for Instance, was a cent of
173S, with Liberty seated on a globe on
it Jt went for $145. 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 is one of the few women In vaude
ville doing a Juggling act alone and
reviewers of he act say she shines
principally because she has feats of her
uon wnicn-sne performs ex-
terously. Mademoiselle Oultinl is on
her first tour of the United States and
only recently -completed a tour of the
principal show houses of Europe. 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.

Philadelphia, Pa., July 20. 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

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. In New
York, at the studio of the scenlo artists,
the scenes representing the Interior of
tfte- pelaee-le being .preps see isese aha
tographs and authentic models.' In a
storehouse In Jersey City, the scenes
representing the Tartar wall, to be used
in the big battle scene. Is being built
At the Century theatre ttaelf, in the
wardrobe department, materials are be
lng gathered against the return of Car-
ramba . In August. 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.
