after viewing 1.-THE Follies of
1909 ones state of mind is
rather like that of a small boy after he
has seen his first circus. He's full of
impressions, but feels quite hopeless
about ever being able to come put Of
his bewilderment and tell what he saw.
Such a wealth of stage goodness.
There's Annabelle whitford, who sings
prettily and looks prettier. Miss Whit
ford has things pretty much her own
way when she sings the Brinkley bath
ing girl song, WITH a background of
ten dainty, demure, fuzzy headed
Brinklcy girls on a typical Brinkley
beach. Josephine Whittal wear hand
some clothes, and sings catchy melo-
dies in a high soprano voice. Bessie
Clayton pirouettes about on her toes
as unconoernedly as most folk make
use Of the entire length of their feet,
scoring particularly in her graceful, &C.
centric 'Yama Yama Man" dance.
Last of the girls, but by no means the
least Of them in looks, form and ability,
ONE the terrific, tantalizing, TEN :
pestuous Tanguay, she who has solved
h mystery of perpetual motion, and
proves it by sundry Jerks and losses
and whirls and eiggles, prancing
wildly across the stage with the sole
intention of prancing wildly back again,
adapting all of her songs to a mys-
FERROUS tune of her own, that no aspir-
ing Tanguay imitator has ever been
able to capture. Truly, it was a Tan
quay night. Her most decided hit, out
side Of her famous Don't Care" song.
was Moving Day in Jungle Town
Attired in white silk hose and doublet
of leopard skins, she entered astride an
elephant, accompanied by a melancholy
procession of tigers and lions and
monkeys and others. All bowed down
In terror of Terrible Teddy, the mighty
hunter who was about to invade their
African home. Miss Tanguay SANG this
number with a relish that intimated
that she rather likes the song herself.
There are four male comedians, with
Will Philbrick. His song And the
World Goes Rolling On" sun with a
painted North Pole as a background,
is one of the biggest hits in the Fol
lies" Arthur Dagon,s '~'Tetrazzini'
SON is another. william Bonelli scores
as the Great Pearline," giving a clever
burlesque of the methods of Pauline,
the popular hypnotist of the moment,
Highly exciting is the closing scene o.
the first act. Eve Tanguay sings
"Come On and Play Ball With Me
Dearfe,r during which pretty chorus
girls pelt the audience with life-like
baseballs. to the -ecstacy of everybody
concerned. The second act closes with
a spectacular arrangement of 1.-THE
Greatest Navy in the World" with a
man of wal for each State in the coun-
try, atop a girls head. Altogether
there are seventeen scenes, with vim
and energy as the slogan of every par-
ticipant.
THE Follies of 1909 furnish beauti-
full relaxation. All you rave to do Is
to look, While your brain sleeps peace
fully and dreams of problem plays.
