NEW YORK, June 6.-The
Folies Bergerie is New York's lat
est playhouse and it is decorated
in gray and pink.
A subtle color scheme. 1t
means from the gray of early
evening until the rose pink dawn
of the next day.
The Folies Bergere Is a new
idea of amusement. You start
at 6 in the evening with dinner.
After the finger bowl has been
taken away, you turn your chair
toward a stage, where. from $3.50
until II, well known laugh-pro-
ducers amuse you with song and
burlesque. By IL the walters
are rested and are eager to serve
you with lunch and the stuff
they've been fighting about in
France. From then until a. m.
there is a cabaret" performance
vaudeville acts given in various
parts of the room.
You get home a little before
breakfast, full of food and the
proprietor counts about $40 or
your money.
The color scheme is gray and
pink. A pink sunset, followed by
the cold gray dawn of the morn
ing after.
The tables and chairs are gray,
so arranged that you may see the
performance as you nibble on
milk-fed duck. The tops of the
tables are of glass under which are
beautiful lace covers laid on a
pink background.
On the tables are new-fangled
signals that bring the walters on
the jump. You press bulb and
a green flag jumps into view. BY
the dawn's early light the flags
are still waving.
The tables are cleared at $3.50,
and nothing to eat or drink is
served from then until IL.

BUT


By hosting the green flag and
wiggling it violently at S:15, you
betray the fact that you're in dis
tress. 'Tis the IS. o. S." sign at
the Folies Bergere. 1t may take
four men to bring it. But the
bottles and glasses are brought to
the table, creating an oasis that's
good for two hours at least.
The food is good and costs no
more than at any other New York
restaurant of class. 'Senough
Mawruss. The shows are the best
of their kind that can be put to-
gether. 1t costs from $3.50 to
$3.50 to get a seat at table.
The burlesque is given by such
people as Ethel Levey, Otis Har-
Ian, Laddie Cliff and Kathleen
Clifford. The cabaret show is by
vaudevillians of as good repute.
Ethel Levey makes hit with her
song: "T Beg Your Pardon,
Broadway.
And by that time you and the
young shoe buyer from Syracuse
are in a mood to forgive her

York, for that matter.
Following the burlesque comes
the ballet, which lasts half ar
hour. "Gaby," satire on the
adventures of late king, ends
this part of the entertainment.
