Visitors Back of Scenes at Rehearsals See Real Heart of Theater. It’s blooming time for new shows on Broadway. Colorful, tuneful, very "girly” musical comedies usually attract the widest attention. They’re beautiful. But Hortense Saunders, writer for The Times and NEA Service, found they require a lot of drab worry and toll. Asa backstage visitor she got an Intimate picture of a big musical show in the making. BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—The best show on Broadway is one the public never sees. Even the affluent butter and egg delegates who can pay the speculator’s top prices for opening night seats are not privileged to witness the drama that is lived before a musical comedy can

First, you join a line of tryout applicants, such as that in the top photo, if you want to dance in a New York musical comedy. Later there’s a lot of practice stepping to be done in the left picture Ralph Reeder, chorus instructor, Is showing four girls how. Then when the first night finally comes, you have your chance at fame.

call in the critics for the first performance. Behind the glitter and the girls, the pep and pulchritude of anew production in the musical comedy capital of the world are weeks of just plain perspiration and sometimes heartbreaks. If the producer is optimistic, he may insert an ad in the daily theatrical paper saying that chorus girls may call at a certain hour. He will find hundreds of girls pushing and shoving to get into, the door at the appointed time. They will range' from 16 to 60, and include every type from the exburlesque queen to the daughter of Park Avenue. Ordered Like Groceries The pessimistic producer, meaning the experienced one, will call up an agency wherechorus girls are graded and sorted like crackers in a box. He will give an order for say fifty blondes, twenty-five brunettes, and twelve red heads, asking that they be delivered to the stage entrance. They will be neat, small-hatted, and inconspicuous. The wise chorus girl does not over-dress when she applies for a job. She is serious and disciplined. She knows the etiquette of a try-out. Onto a bare stage the hundred girls are marshaled. They are inspected a row at a time. “The girl in the blue suit next to the girl in black—step forward and give your address,” says the producer. Picked Like Fruit He is picking the girls as he would pick peaches out of a bushel basket or canned fruit from the grocer’s shelf. He may select half a dozen girls. The rest are dismissed. They file out as quietly as they came. I watched Gene Buck spend a whole morning selecting four from a stageful of girls for “Take the Air.” He is a veteran at the business. It took him a week to round up fifty girls to start rehearsal. This would simmer down to about twenty in the three weeks before the opening. In the rehearsal hall the chorus girls work from 11 to 11. They show up in gingham practice frocks that from the waist up look like house dresses they might wear for a morning’s dusting. During the day their bare knees become as dirty as if they had spent the day scrubbing the floor. The gingham frocks become wet and wilted and cling to slim bodies that must never weigh more than 120. Demand Pep, Speed All day long they work up that pep and speed that the audiences demand. Fast-stepping is hard work. A pianist breaks his fingernails off playing the jazz tunes. The showman probably selects the hardest dance number for the first day’s rehearsal. This speeds up the elimination. As the chorus perspires downstairs, 4 often the principals are rehearsing upstairs. At the end of the second week, chorus and prin-

MERCY SHOWN BY BEAR MADE CURWOOD ARDENT CHAMPION OF WILD LIFE

The culmination is the dress rehearsal, which lasts all night, just before the opening. The new Ziegfeld or Buck or Shubert or George White show is now in the lap of Broadway’s gods. The opening night is at hand. But the best show of all is tae preparatory one on which the curtain just has been rung down.

FLOOD RELIEF MISSING Bartholomew Says Council Never Saw Ordinance. Councilman Otis E. Bartholomew, southsider, today began a diligent search for the $55U,000 flood prevention ordinance. The ordinance was said to have been drafted after the works board let the contract some weeks ago to C. E. Jefferson to widen and dredge White river between Morris and Raymond Sts. Mayor Duvall’s cabinet is reported to have approved the measure shortly before City Controller Claude F. Johnson resigned. Mrs. Mauda E. Duvall, city controller, today said she knew nothing about the whereabouts of the ordinance. “It’s in the legal department,” commented A. B. Good, deputy controller. “I’m going to find it if I have to work all week. They’re all blaming the council and it never has reached us,” Bartholomew stated. He declared failure to pass the measure is holding up the Belt Railroad south side elevation project and a Belt bridge over White river. Council failed to approve the works board contract for $268,000 to the National Concrete Company to repair the Morris St. bridge, charging the contract was not let on a competitive basis.

Member of Swedish Royal Family Here Oct. 12; Eager to See West. “I haven’t found my best girl yet.” That was the response of Prince William of Sweden when asked whether he contemplated matrimony again, as he stepped from the Swedish-American liner Gripsholm in New York this week. Though eligible to marry again by virtue of a divorce from Princess Maria Pavolvna of Russia, thirteen years ago, this royal personage says he isn’t looking forward to matrimony. Drawing heavily on an American cigaret, he burst into laughter as the conversation persisted in being of his personal affairs, and told his interviewers: Expects to Meet Beauties “I expect to meet as many beautiful and attractive girls as I did when I was in America before—very charming young women, I dare say.” Indiana and the great West are interesting his Royal Highness. With almost boyish glee this handsome Prince, who stands six feet three in his stocking feet, said: “When a little boy I read Cooper and his stories of the Indians and the great plains of the West, where buffalo were hunted, and since that time I have wanted to visit the great West of America. “Last time I was here I could get only to Kansas, but this time I hope to be able to see your wonderful Rocky Mountains.” Son Is Improving Just as the Prince landed he was handed a cable announcing that his son, Lennart, who was stricken three days ago with pneumonia, was recovering. The camping fund of the Camp Fire Girls and Girl Scouts will be the beneficiary of the proceeds of a lecture to be given by the Prince, under auspices of The Indianapolis Times, at the Armory Wednesday evening, Oct. 12.
