Flo Ziegfeld Again Glorifies American Girl in His 'Follies’ Now at English’s

By WALTER D. HICKMAN Glorifying the American girl is a sweet bat expensive job for Florenz Ziegfeld. His “Follies" always costs many fortunes to preitjO'.iWV sent as it costs to dress pretty womt k (ffc -n even if few • '.vurn r* IsSl now being proA sorted at Eng- * gt, "’’agfS&m lisL s is rot a ; i\j name ;b>\\.

Eddie Cantor replaced Will Rogers during the Broadway run. Then on June 25, 1121, a second edition was presented and that is the edition we have with some cast changes. I know that it is impossible to have Gray, Gallagher and Shean, Will Rogers and ether big names I have mentioned on tour. Chicago didn't get them. So why worry. You can go to the ‘Tollies” this week at English's sure of this one big thing: You will see a whale of a pretty show and a most beautiful entertainment. This show has variety. I honestly believe that the strength of the “Follies” rests with the girls. Every one is beautiful and the scenic equipment is as beautiful as the girls. It is still the most beautiful institu-

tion before the American public today. Picking the High Lights Is a Very Pleasing Job I haven’t the space to go into detail of this “girl circus” of the stage. There axe too many rings. Will outline briefly what I liked best and why, as follows: The Tiller Girls —To me these perfect dancing beauties are the real hit sensation of the show. Never nave I seen better ensemble dancing. The best hoofers in captivity. Perfect. Perfect. Kelo Brothers —Their rube eccentric dancing a real hit, which happens at the very beginning of the show. Elsa Peterson —Because of her singing “A Kiss in the Dark.” The gowns in “The Lace Maker” number while she sings are wonders. Helen Gates —A jazz singer who scores with the Gilda Gray number, “It is Getting Dark on Old Broadway.” Art pictures by Ben Ali Haggin— Really beautiful, every one of them. “Keen Off The Grass” —The only comedy Vehicle that gives William Collier a chance to be droll and really funny. His conversation with Davy Jones in the first act is not so forty. Jimmy Hussey—Not by his songs, but by his comedy work in an automobile travesty, “Getting a Ticket.” Andrew Tombes —Because of his -lever monologue under the title of “Ziegfeld News Reel." Mighty clever. Martha Lorber and Evelyn Law— Eecause they both dance welL And last but not least —The Ziegfeld Girls. Never have I seen a prettier and better drilled group of girls. While Speaking of Other Things We Hasten to Say: Many people will get an awful kick -tut cf the South Sea wiggly dance of .Martha Lorh“r. There is plenty of movement here.

beautiful limbs. Art is art you know and beauty is beauty. “Frolicking Gods” is dignified with the title of being a ballet, but turns to be rather wild r.urlesque. The “Radio” number pleases. "A NewLight on the Housing Problem” is the Ziegfeld brand of slapstick and hokum. The Follies is a national pastime. It is beautiful and smart. From the standpoint of beautiful women, Ziegfeld has never sent us better lookers. The edition we have is a most beautiful show. Shy on come-dy, but that is not why people buy Follies tickets. The secret is women, lovely women. The; present “Follies” at English’s is just as good and pretty as any on tour. At English's al week. -I- -I' I1N WHICH AN AUDIENCE HONORS ROGERS AND ALLEN Song pictures are not common on the vaudeville stage. We expect pictorial beauty to accompany a song on the revue stage. Allan Rogers and Leonora Allen have brought the song picture to the variety stage with much success. They are at Keith’s this week. These two people know how to sing and Miss Allen knows how to dress for her songs. She is a beautiful womfan with musical comedy ways. One of their be3t numbers is the wellknow T n “Lady of the Night.”* Miss Allen scores with “Dixie.” Roger’s big number is “The Road to Mondalay.” This tea mis an easy winner. They were given a tremendous ovation when I reviewed the show-. There are two “nut” acts on the till. Bert Fitzgibbon, assisted by his brother. Lew. offer a daffy dil act. There is some sense to all of Bert’s nonsense and that is a rare article in “nut” acts. His poetic tribute to the late Woodrow Wilson is out of keeping with the spirit of his act. This j oem should not be used. Bert wins easily with his other material. The other “nut” contributor is Jack Vier and his trapeze. Jack is well known here, but still gets the laughs. The Four Diamonds have a dancing act with an athletic finish which is a triumph The two little diamonds (just had to use that one' sparkle even more than the two larger diamonds. A migh.y good act. William Gibson and Regina Connell! in “One Night in Spring,” prove that there is such a thing as love at first sight. Some of their eon\ersation is smart Alice Morley sings the jazzy mamma and daddy songs of the hour. The McDonald Trio open the bill with a uicyele turn.

ELSIE AND PAULSEN IW> APACHE DANCE ON SKATES The Apache dance on ice skates—the Paris underworld transplanted to St. Mortiz—accomplished with all the abandon the dance calls for, is performed admirably by Elsie and Paulsen at the Lyric this week. So gracefully do these two dance one Is hardly aware they are on skates; never a misstep. A pretty act. I A. Robbins, the old gentleman j whose dothe3 are ill pockets, begins 1 his performance as a clarinet player, j Robbins imitates everything from a clarinet to a cello, producing each I instrument from his clothes, and, in j addition, also produces everything j from a waste basket to a music stand —all from his voluminous clothing. I It is to laugh! ASlds from knowing their instru- ‘ ments intimately, the Werner Amoro.s | Trio are grotesquely funny. The cellist, after some rather violent but effective. slapstick, demonstrates that the foolery is only a side issue after | all. The violinist is good. also. “Stateroom 19” with Gates and I/ee, Is a clever skit of two newlyweds who believe they are experiencing all the hardships of an ocean voyage only to discover the ship is still in port. McGowan and Knox produce laughs with some new and some old Jokes centered about the difficulties incident to ownership of a flivver. Burke, ; Barton and Burke also hold up the j comedy end of the bill. Bill is opened by the Fantino girls with on acrobatic act. (By Observer.) -I- -!- -I MINSTREL MEN HOLD FORTH AT THE PALACE THESE DAYS The show on view at the Palace for the first half of the week Is of a dlf ferent pattern than this house has offered this season. John R. Van Arnam’s Minstrels give the entire vaudeville bil. The first half Is the regulation minstrel part brought up to date. The end men are on the ancient pattern as well as the Jokes. I am be ginning to think the older a minstrel joke is the better an audience receives It. There are several good solo numbers In the first part. The second part is made up of vaudeville acts, ending in a jazz finale. Judging the ap'plause of the audience, the honors of the show go to the Avalon Four, a quartet. These men

have a good comedy ending which leaves the audience encoring for more. It seems that all modern minstrels have a female impersonator, and this show is no exception to the rule. Glyn Lendriek goes in for this sort of thing. He first aprears, not as a dashing vampire, but rather as a quiet woman of the city. He then impersonates a cabaret entertainer who loves to “dish the dirt.” and then closes with an impersonation of a small town girl who married a small town Romeo. He hasn't a singing voice, but deceives his audience by his talking voice. He again appears as a sort of a vampire violinist at the finale of the show Jazz music is furnished by Ray Dixon’s Blue Mountain Syncopators. There are numerous others in the large company. Show well staged and mounted. The movie feature is “The Old Fool.” At the Palace today and Wednesday. -I- -1- . LOT OK GOOD POINTS IN “RADIO GIRLS" Biily Gilbert, a fat comedian, and Bobby Wilson, a wee fellow, are the comedy contributors in “Radio Girls” now on view at the Capitol.

Good Health In Happy Old Age

THE chief concern of elderly people is their health, and that is best assured by regular daily bowel movement. There is no truth, however, in the notion that because you are old you need a “strong physic.” In fact, just because you are old a mild laxative is better for you. The trouble with purges and cathartics and physics is that they shock the system and weaken it and make the muscles of digestion flabby. Dr. G. 11. Brown. V. S., of Frederic, Wis., nearly wrecked his stomach with purgatives. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin restored his health, as it did Mrs. J. S. Etheridge's, of Milledgeville, Ga.

There is a story to this show. Members of a girl's school start out on a ship in search of treasures. No men are allowed but Gilbert and Wilson become stowaways. When discovered the girls want to kill ’em but when they start to sell their kisses, well, they stay on the ship. The second act is laid on the Isle of Adventure which is presided over by a King. The stowaways keep their heads when they make the king laugh. Old stuff, but goes over well. In the second act, John Quigg in blackface, ties up the show with aceordian numbers. He keeps at it until the audience is joining in the melody. The chorus probably ranges In age, but several of them are pretty good kickers. Better than the average. Prominent among the women are Hazel Alger, prima donna; Emma Wilson and Pauline Glenmarr, a dancer. The Marks Brothers are blackface dancers who register with effect. We left the theater feeling that we have seen a pretty good show. At the Capitol today and rest of the week. (By Observer.) •I- 'l' -IKELLY IS AN AUTHOR AS WELL AS AN ACTOR TODAY Billy Kelly not only wrote the book of “The Big Sensation,” now on view at the Broadway, but he plays the chief comedy role. He first appears as Eevo, a bum out for a good time, and in the sec-

largest selling liquid laxative in the world. Because of its mildness and freedom from griping it is especially ideal for the extremes of ages, for children and for elderly people. Effective at Small Cost Get a bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at any drug store. The formula is on the package, and the cost less than a cent a dose. Take it when you feel heavy, sleep poorly, have headache or night cramps, for these are also symptoms of constipation. Give it to the children when they are restless, feverish or have a cold. Syrup Pepsin will keep you and the family free from constipation, a condition that lowers the vitality 25 per cent and raises the blood pressure 28 per cent. Freedom from constipation lessens the pain of kidney trouble, neuritis and rheumatism.
