S A N F R AN GIS CQ ^ phone: DOUGLAS 200. Louis B. Jacobs Defends the Chorus Girl Lou Jacobs, owner of the musical comedy show at the Tabor Grand, Denver, has long been recognized as one of our best little letter writers. A great opportunity offered recently when the Denver papers got busy and roasted Richard Bennett and Damaged Goods to a turn. Bennett, in quoting some of Brieux's lines, reflected on a branch of the profession that was an integral . part of the entertainment ]\[r. Jacobs is offering, and he got busy and sent a vigorous reply, a part of which is as follows: * * * "However, in behalf of the branch of the profes- sion which I represent and for the good of professional people less for- tunate in rising to a higher level of the profession we both revere, I am impelled to request you to either elimi- nate or change the line you read in the first act, where Brieux causes Dupont to remark that he should have liked to smoke a cigar, lit in some chorus girl's room. Why a chorus girl's room ? Why not some stenographer, or some shop girl, or a woman from a thousand other professional callings? Why place the chorus girl in the same category along with street walkers and l)rostitutes? Is she not sufficiently maligned? Perhaps you do not know tliat in niy chorus T have women sup- ])orting parents and sick brothers and sisters, others whose ambition led them to the chorus that they may use the experience as a stepping stone to some- thing better. If they preferred lives of shame, they would not select the exact- ing demands which the chorus makes of them as a means to that end. The other is far more remunerative and less rigid. The chorus girl of today may be the .star of tomorrow, and while you l)ray for public opinion to be charitable to those who innocently contract a fearful disease, please do not direct that opinion against a branch of the profession which you so dignify and elevate. Trusting you will appreciate the motive which prompts this letter, and accede to my request, I am, very sincerely, LOUIS B. JACOBS. "Tabor Opera House, May 29." The Keaneograph Company has laid its entire force off for four weeks, after which time the company will start in on a series of features and comedies. A new company, embracing several of the first company, will be signed for the new work. James Keane in his first effort, a five-reel film, has produced a wonderful pic- ture, that has demonstrated he is a past-master at picture direction and scenario writing. Charley Edler showed his feature film at the Star Theatre, San Rafael, last night, and it proved to be won- derfully interesting. HARRY MARSHALL Scenic Artist Bijou Theatre, Honolulu.
