Packed House Greets Opening Performance at the Ma
tional-Play Is Whirlwnd of Action, WITH
Some Good Comedy Work

Even standing room was an unknown
quantity at the National last night
when the ''Follies Of 1867 made its first
BID for favor in the Capital as the sue
cessor of the popular Follies OF last
season. From start to finish the pro-
duction is a conglomeration of foolish
ness, a mixture OF low comedy, jokes
none too fresh, music that is catchy
but none too musical, with q beauty
chorus OF real beauties, in stunning COS
tunes, all presented IN such a whirl-
wind Of action that despite the fact that
one never knows just what one is laugh
ing at, the laughter is there, and the
applause as well.
Possibly the most serious handicap
that the Follies labors under IS the fact
that so much of It has been seen before
at vaudeville and burlesque houses.
Even the society boxing match, that
is as funny a bit of low comedy work
as one could ask for. was burlesqued
here early in the season, AID much OF
the music has been heard again and
again. Despite this drawback, however,
there IS a world Of fun IN the Follies,
and the reception given 1t last night
was wildly enthusiastic. and time and
again some hit was encored repeatedly.
Miss Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth
were the prime favorites. Miss Bayes
was as charming as ever with her
quaint Irish melodies and in her song,
Since Mother Was a Girl" she made
a pronounced hit, responding again and
again, being forced finally to make a
little curtain speech before the house
would let her go. Norworth, the Well
known college boy, pulled of some new
nd ha EPuv
scored with Shine On, Harvest Noon"
One of the best bits Of the produc-
ton was THE Nell BrinEley Girl"
sung by Miss Annabelle Whitford, and
the Brinl1ley girl tableaux. Miss Whit
ford makes an ideal picture girl, and
last night increased her popularity with
Washington theatergoers.
Harry Watson, jr., as Nibs Hooligan,
the Pittsburg dope, and Billy Reeves,
a perfect lady. in the Smart Club Ath-
letic Club fight do some vastly clever
comedy work, AID the scene in the ring
carries the house by storm
One very noticeable feature of the en-
tire production Is the absence, with one
or two exceptions, of anything improper
from the lines. The show is clean and
fun-making is without that suggestive
ness so frequently seen in plays Of the
kind.
The curtain goes w showing the Gar
den Of Eden, then a quick shift and the

Avenue Girls" Have
Burlesque Of Merit

1.-The Avenue Girls" with two good
burlesques and an exceptionally good
Ohio. opened at the New Lyceum last
night. Good music and a shapely
chorus, the essentials Of a successful
burlesque. are provided in abundance.
The Queen OF the Alps" is the title
of the opening number, in which the
audience is raised to heights Of en-
joyment that make the Matterhorn
look as fat as a billiard table. Helen
Jessie Moore, Julia Natus, Leo Stew
ems, and Billy Arlington lead in the
merrymaking. They also hold the fort
in the last burlesQue, entitled 1t Hap
pened in SPAIN wherein the romance
OF the Pyrenees is exploited in a set
ting the Dons never dreamed Of, and
Spanish damsels IN raiment scanty dis
port themselves in an atmosphere Of
tuneful melodies.
In the oliO are the Chapman Sisters
with their pickaninny, Raymond
Thomas, Allen Wightman, a clever
clay modeler; Arlington and Delmore,
ia a well written and well played
sketch, The Defective Detective De-
tective," and the Peerless Two Jacks.

Piece Well Staged.
ACADEMY-"Four Huntings" Furnish
ROusing Chance for Laughter.

The sole endeavor Of the -Four Hunt
ings in the Fool House at the Acad-
envy is to make the audience laugh.
The endeavor IS entirely successful, and
though you do not always know what
you are laughing at, you always laugh.
There is very little pretense OF story;
the play is merely a succession OF
songs, dances, and broad cha -acter COM
edy. The fun may not be highly intel.
lectual, but IL is clean and entirely
amusing.
The Four. or rather, Five, Huntings
are all good, particularly In their orig
inal dancing speciality. Lew Hunting
and Tony +. Hunting both do some very
good acrobatic and clog dancing, but
Tony adds the qualities Of a comedian
Richard Hume does not attempt to
sing or dance. In the eccentric comedy
part Of Washington Pipp he is the cen
tral comic character, and is always
amusing.
The chorus. large and almost entirely
feminine, is well trained and costumed.

Garner, the deaths from consumption in
1908 in this city, taking men only into
account, caused a loss of $1,367,511.
This loss, it is commended, is either
