'FOLL|ES' STARS
SCORE HITS At
THE ATLANTA
Enrol and Tinney Very Funny
Beauty Chorus Lives Up to
Its Reputation,
By Tarleton Collier


II any distinct impressions at all
can be CLEANED out OF the kaleido-
scopic pomp and circumstance OF the
Follies' first night in Atlanta, 1t is
that Leon Enrol and Frank Tinnoy
are very very funny; that there are
superlatives in feminine prettiness
and cuteness and trimness 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.
It IS hard to conceive New York's
Peputed ecstasy over the annual Fol-
Hes, as 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 sophistica-
tion Of the metropolis.
There are rather tame novelties,
except. perhaps, the novel methods OF
displaying the charms Of femininity

Stage Horse Again.
One of the blithesome feats OF the
Follies was to introduce our antique
friend the stage horse II is likely

had decinated the animals OF the
world Noah and his wife played horse
in just such fashion TO entertain the
grandchildren But perhaps the horse

modern day rarity of that Whilom
friend of man on Fifth avenue.
And while the favor of the delight
full comedy Of Enrol and Tinney in
the subway scene still fingered, there
was sprung on the unwary audience a
scene declared to reveal the wonders
of the Panama Canal, in which slim
Noung women paraded the American
flag blatantly, and pretty Jose COL
Jins sang a stirring song with 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 u
great deal of color, a great deal of
brightness, "A great deal of music

ATLANTA, 1t seemed, for the audience
which damned tho Atlanta Theater,
coming in a swarm of automobiles,

best folk; in overworked street cars

enthusiasm at the Follies
There was always brightness and
1ife 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 a number of spectac-
.ular ensembles, and appeared for a
short solo bit as his old self, with his
bushels OF medals and his tramp's
,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 Tinney and Leon
Enrol always and at any appearance
were features that stand out as en-
.joyahlc 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

lsnned Clever Pianist.
lsmed the sensational Turkish
pianist at the Forsyth, is contribut-
ing much TO the drawing power of
the bin of Keith vaudeville there this
week The act is one of the Cleverest
that has been seen on a local stage.
IT is novelty of the first grade and
remarkable because of its musical
value. lsmed has won rounds of ap-
plause and has had to respond to cur
tain calls at every performance. Lad
die Cliff, the comedian, has estab-
lished himself as r. real faVorite. His
quaint songs, his eccentric dances and
his general ability to entertain make
the young man one Of the best head
liners of the season.
