Since their faces constitute a large part of their fortunes, a number of actresses and show girls now playing In Boston have formed the "Copyright Face Club," and have applied to the proper authorities in Washington for copyrights on their faces.

Among those who constitute the membership of this latest stage organization are Ethelyn Groff of Chicago, Annabel Whitford, who started g the movement; Daisy Dumont, Gussie Bennett, Catherine Powell, Lillian - Burbeck and Margaret Mulholland. They declare that if Librarian Spofford refuses to grant them copy- rights they will lobby a bill through Congress, and have already been promised the support of several Senators who could not resist their attra- tlve pleadings. , .
