This will be tie first time an all- American house has tried to com pete with French theatres In their own field on a permanent basis. Exponents of the American stage predict on Immense success for tbe venture. Nearly everyone who has had ODDortunitr to compare the American chorus with Its European stage equivalent has been struck with the superiority ot the formor. American chorus girls dance much better collectively and probably quite as well Individually and they are very far from being Inferior In "pep" and vivacity, for which the French stage beauty is renowned. French chorus girls frequently are graceful as Individuals, but they do not know bow to dance together. They lack that collective unity if movement which has mado American chorus and drill teams famous the world over. Viewed from the ga. lerles the average Parisian chorus resembles uii American caste in in early rehearsal, before the directors sharp tongue has lashed the kln'is out of the beauty line-up and forced a. stage-full of dancers to move like one person.
