Gayety.'

Al Rich's Jolly Follies," truly charac-
terized in the program as 'nonsensical
musical mixture" opened at The Gayety
Theater yesterday. The first burlesque
is i'm three scenes. and what plot there is
in the performance centers around the
complications arising from the close re-
semblance of two of the characters to
each other.
Phil OFT, as Count Hauzenpheffer. is
the principal comedian. He is ably
backed up, by Max Burkhardt. who has
the character OF Louie Gutenberg and
Bob OFT and Tom Robinson. who have
the parts of Stout and Fat. the men who
cause all Of the complications
Alice Lazar has the leading feminine
role and won the audience completely
with her songs. Virginia Ware. who has
the part of Senorita Gomez, fortune
teller, is an old favorite in Washington
and was given an enthusiastic reception.
The scene of the second part of the
show is laid at Palm Beach and the same
characters appear in this burlesque. AL
though much shorter than the first part
the second burlesque is better, in that
the comedy and dialogue are much snap
