National.

| A Washingtonian who had seen
| "Flo-F1o" in New York told the FIRST
| nighter' here that it was a SHOW
| where the chorus are really the prin-
cipals.'
AS succinct and well deserved as is
| the compliment. the performance at
| the National last night showed it did
! injustice to the principals. who are
! clever, active and work along dis
| tinctive lines. Each group sets the
pace for the other, and the result is
worth an evening Of any ones time.
Advance notices also helped to i'm
| plant the idea that the offering is
largely display of feminine apparel,
| intimate and otherwise. This is true

| first portion. The curtain rises on the
interior of '"rhe Bride Shop" 5th ave-

A sort of double sextet, or. rather,
three pairs" provide the bulk of the

debutante. F1o-F1o gets both her
wishes, and Angelina gets her child
