THE ATLANTA
Enrol and Tinney Very Funny.
Beauty Chorus Lives Up to
Its Reputation.
By Tarleton Collier.

Il
II any distinct Impressions at all
can be CLEANED out Of the kaleido-
scopic pomp and circumstance Of the
Follies' first night in Atlanta, it is
that Leon Enrol and Frank Tinney
are very, very funny; that there are
superlatives in feminine prettiness
and cuteness and trmness of figure,
and that all the means stage people
can devise of being naughty-and
getting away with it--were exploited
when father went to variety.
II is hard to conceive New York s
reputed ecstasy over the annual Fol
lies, 81 the show appeared at the At
lanta Thursday night, even with the
funny business Of Enrol and Tinney-
or at least the conception strikes a
body blow at the Wanted sophlstlca-
ton of the metropolis.
There are rather tame novelties
except. perhaps, the novel methods OF
displaying the charms of femininity
undraped.
OIdYc F1OTSc NJdtl.
One of the blithesome feats of the
Follies was to introduce our antique
friend, the stage horse. 1t is likely
tina. when the great food OF Genesis
had decimated the animals Of the
world. Noah and his wife played horse
in just such fashion to entertain the
grandchildren. But perhaps the horse
was justified in the burlesque on the
modern-d day rarity Of that whilom
friend of man on Fifth avenue
And while the flavor of the delight
full comedy of Enrol and Tinney in
the subway scene still fingered there
was sprung on the unWary audience
scene declared to reveal the wonders
of the Panama Canal, in which slim
young women paraded the American
flag blatantly and pretty Jose COL
Inns sang stirring song with a yam
kee Doodle" motif and a realistic
President Wilson appeared, and all to
little purpose.
Great Deal of Color.
However, with all the unexpected
bromidism Of the Follies, there is
great deal of color, a great deal OF
brightness, a great deal of music
indifferent music, 1t must be con-
fessed most Of it-and a great deal of
speed, so that for never a moment is
there a lack Of performing which is
a great many peoples idea OF good
entertainment, particularly here in
Atlanta, it seemed, for the audience
which damned the Atlanta Theater,
coming in a swarm Of automobiles,
betokening that they We're our very
best folk; in overworked street cars
and afoot, all of them yelled out their
enthusiasm AT the EOllieS
There was always brightness and
life under the proscenium when Eliza
beth Brice, very attractive and
magnetic young woman, was out with
her songs and her smile. Particularly
was her telephone number one Of the
delightful things of the show.
Nat Wills Stars.
Nat Wills led number Of spectac-
ular ensembles. and appeared for
short solo bit as his old self, with his
bushels of medals and his tramps
garb. The burlesque Of Frank Tin
ney and Jose Collins. the tango trav
esty Of Leon Enrol and Stella Chate-
laine, the winsome singing of Jose
Collins. and Frank Tlnney and Leon
Enrol always and at any appearance
were features that stand out as en-
joyable bits of the show
And never IS there any forgetting
the trimness Of the beauty chorus,
which was everything in the matter
of pulchritude that had been prom
ssed and everything in the matter of
oostumins that the gallery had come
TO see
