ern theatricals. 1t is. in effect, simply a
big vaudeville show flled with clever peo-
pie. It has no semblance Of a plot, and
does not need one From the time the
curtain goes up until the finish. there Is
something doing all the time. and most
of it is clever. Miss Nora Bayes. clever
, vaudeville artist Of three years ago, has
developed into a star, but she has done
so legitimately Three years ago she dis
appeared from the American stage, and
no one knew where she had gone She
was in Paris. studying music under Nine.
Duff. and when she had shaken the cheap
vaudeville manner and had really learned
how 10 use her voice and how 10 carry
herself on the stage, she created furore
in Paris singing American songs. She
was SO widely talked OF and so admired
that when Florenz Ziegfeld, the husband
of Anna Held, saw her he engaged her at
! once and built up the present vaudeville
show, THE Follies Of 1907" It Is "a show
that is bound TO make good wherever 1t
goes. Il is FULL of dash and vim and gin
ger, and is distinctly up-to-date.
II is not, however. always in good
taste. The burlesque Of President Roose-
welt in the first part Of the show is not
only stupid it is unnecessary. The Pres
ident of the United States is not a ut
subject for ribaldry. he is our President.
and We cannot see him made fun Of with
out hurting ourselves. Besides, the sup
posed burlesQue Of Mr.. Roosevelt in The
Follies of 1907" is indescribably stupid
and dull. 1t has not even the excuse Of
cleverness. TWO other features OF the
show might we'll be eliminated as SAVIOR
ing too much Of the cheap burlesque
house. These are the scene Of the nude
girl on the sands, which is not a bit
funny or smart. and the scene Of the girl
dressing herself, seen through lighted
window.
This is 1907. We al know how women
dress. and though the sight Of feminine
cOrsets may make a few Of the unso-
phisticated laugh. il is an unworthy prop
ostion TO put up TO a first-class audience.
These things are simply vulgar and the
gulf between vulgarity and smartness is
pretty broad one. II the show could be
deodorized in these few respects il would
