FROM OFFICE TO STAGE
PRETTY LONDON TYPISTES. f LONDON, September 1. Andre Chariot, the revue producer, considering that business girls are prettier and more attractive, and have daintier ankles than many already on the stage, organised a Sunday morning theatre parade ot 300 girls, whose employment prevented their application for stage work on othei days ot the week. The girls appeared on the stage six at a time, and were tried out in higli kicking and singing. M. Cnarlot chose eight, giving them immediate contracts at £5 a week. Two, aged 20, will go to America. One of these is a city typisto, and the other a danebig instructress, who brought her younger sister, but had not dreamt of being chosen herself. M. Uharlot remarked : “I won’t bo popular for bringing more girls into the prolession, but many girls now on the stage would be I tetter in offices, while many in humble commercial jobs would make a name behind the footlights.”
