TYPES OF THE CONFIRMED, The “Joy of the Johnnies,” Thrifty Member,” the Kittenish “Mother of Five’ and Others as/| Seen from Behind the Scenes. Hrere's a story about chorus girls writ- ten and Slustrated by a chorus girl. Miss Margaret Rohe, who can draw and write as well as sing and dance, has sct her mprry sisters down on paper for the entertainment and eitiication of Evening World readers. Miss Rohe js a member wf the chorus of “The Runaways," the new musica, plece which will hortly succeed “A Chinese Honeymoon" at the \asino. lance at her pictures and jetd 77 she bas to say of differeat tyjes of “chorus girlie - deal about the The callow youth ck-velvet-gowned, golden-haired ith a penchant for lobster a la } urg and champagne. The humorous man from Kansas refers to her as the only type who can author- itatively decipher the hieroglyphics on the Central Park obell: But jf you were to ask a chorus maiden to describe her sisters she would probably tell you it would be quite as pasy give a description of a soprano or coltralto from the physical stand- point, “Joy ofthe Johnnies.” In every comic opera company there ere a certain mumber of chorus girl types. First of all there is the “Joy of the Johnnies.” She trips through life on a pair of extremely high-heeled patent-leather oxfords. You always wee them, for she holds the skirt of her black velvet gown wrapped about her Migure so sparingly that the gleam of silken hose above the “theatrical lasts" ig part of the vision. You seldom see her without a dig white malines chou at her throat, and @round her neck hangs a chain with Bomebody's locket and somebody's ple- ture anchored to it. She wears in- variably a big bunch of violets, and her approach is heralded by the swish of silk petticoats and evidence of a reck- Jess prodigality of perfume. Golden ¢resses done in a Marceil wave, a flat scoop hat with the ever- present fluttering vell—these are charac- teristics ay unfailing as the #aigh-hecled tuead” or “the chorus girl gait.” She loves to talk nonchalantly of her con- quests, how she was out to supper with thia young millionaire or that Wall street magnate, The Thrifty Girl. “The girl who saves her salary" 1s the envy of the uninitiated, While the less @iplomatic chorus maid 1s making use of crowded strect cars, the thrifty ‘show girl,’ as she insists upon being desig- Ms up in her hangom or auto- You hear a great “chorus girl ty paints her a!
