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 al
can be CLEANED. out Of the kaleldo-
SCOPE pomp and circumstance Of tbs
Follies' first night in Atlanta. il IS
that Leon Enrol and Frank Tinney
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--wcre exploited
when father went to variety,
It is hard to conceive New York's
reputed ecstasy over the annual Fol
lies, as the show appeared al the At
Ianta Thursday night even with the
funny business of Enrol and Tinney-
or at least the conception strikes a
body blow at the Wanted sophistica-

Stage Horse Again.
one Of the blithesome feats Of the
Follies was to Introduce our antique
friend, the stage horse. 1t is likely
ina when the great flood OF Genesis
had decimated the animals Of the
world Noah and his wife played horse
in Just such fashion to entertain the
grandchildren. But perhap s the horse
was justified in the burlesque on the

the subway scene still fingered, there

of the Panama Canal, in which slim
young women paraded the American
flag blatanrly. and pretty Jose COL

which jammed the Atlanta Theater
coming In a swarm of automobiles,
betokening that they were our very
best folk in overworked street cars

magnetic young woman was out with
her songs and her smile Particularly

delightful things OF the show.
Nat Wills Stars.
Nat Wills led a number of speCtaC-

bushels of medals and his tramp's
garb The burlesque of Frank Tin
ney and Jose Collins, the tango tray
esty of Leon Enrol and Stella Chate-
Jaime. the Winsome singing OF Jose
Collins, and Frank Tinney and Leon
Enrol always and at any appearance
were features that stand out as en-
