England is experiencing a shortage of chorus girls, according to theatrical stents and stage managers. Plenty . of t young women are still anxious to get In the limelight, but ex perienced girls are said to be far less plentiful than they were. One theatrical agent explains the sit uation thusly: During the' war a large number of chorus girls, show gtrls, and "small part ladles" left the stage for other work. Some, are remaining In it permanently H others have not yet come back to the theatre. Many girls, too, were married to of ficers during the war. and have no need, or Inclination, to go back to the stage. The lack of first-class show girls for provincial pantomimes is becoming par ticularly acute. It Is almost impossible to get them to fc out of London. Even salaries of four pounds are not tempting them. Aged Baker Woman Dies of Pneumonia At Home in Baker Baker, Dec 6.
