CRITIC SAYS "FLO-FLW
DESERVES COMPLIMENTS
New Orleans Paper Says Show Com.
ing to Auditorium Is Highly
Entertaining

When John Cort's "Flo Flo conf
pany, which is to entertain at the
Auditorium Monday night, played the
Tulane theater, New Orleans. the New
Orleans States published the follow
ing complimentary review:
There would have been no more fit
! ting entertainment selected for the
re-opening of the Tulane theater than
John Corts Flo Flo" Fred de Gresac
and E. Waulton collaborated on the
lyrics and Silvio Helm wrote the
greater part of the music but the hand
of Cort is shown by the massiveness,
gorgeousness, exquisiteness and pleas
ing manner in which the musical
comedy is given.
Flo Flo" is fascinating, rejuvenat-
ing, and full of pep and go from the
first moment the curtain rises until
the final one falls. Hardly a better
show could be used to again awaken
interest in theatricals after the
forced lay off caused by influenza.
And the costuming is something won
derful, practically everything ;magi
nable in woman's wear being shown
The first act is set in the Bride
Shop, fashionable store for women
in New York. The shapely models
are paraded before the audience in
the fiimsy lingeries that bewitch the
men and delight the feminine heart
Then they are shown in the fashion
able gowns and cloaks of present day
styles, every one of the presentations
evoking the loudest applause. The
costumes were wonderfully attractive
and newish in their looks, and did not
have the travel-worn appearance of
hose seen with other shows that have
been witnessed here.
But the company that presents "Flo
Flo" is by far the best musical aggre-
cation seen here in some time. Cor
leila Haager as Flo Flo is at her
'ery best, and could hardly be i'm
proved upon. AS the corset model
n the window, which stopped the
fifth avenue parade, her posing was
pleasing and her costuming exquisite.
Fhen she has charming voice,
'leasing personality, and can dance !,
'he scored a triumph when she sang
Would You Say No." and made a hit i.
n The zeigfield Girl' in which she
inflated one of Florenzs stars. and
ressed the part almost to perfection
The show has practically five COM a

Well, after all the fuss that was

 OPPOSES TRAFFIC
 IN LIBERTY BONDS

The County Council of Defense yes terday went on record against the commercializing of Liberty Bonds. and called on purchasers to hold them as Investments and not as negD llable paper. The resolution adopted follows:
 "Whereas, it has come to the attnn ton of the county council of defense that encouragement has been given hy partIes unknown tc us relative to the selling of Liberty Bonds or borrowing money on the same; and,
 "Whereas, In the selling of these government bonds by the United States it was the purpose, aside from aiding the government to cause the people who purchase them to keep them in the family for either them selves Or their children, and not to barter them on the market OF sell them to individuals even at a prem iuln; now there,
 Be It Resolved. By the County Council of Defense that we hereby ask the cooperation of all good, true American citizens in this community to discourage, as we do now, the com mercializng of anv of the Liberty Bonds of either the first, second or third issue. They ought to be regarded as sacred to the cause we are fight ing for; sacred to the boys who are fighting for our flag. We therefore earnestly hope that those people in q position to do so will see that no man makes dollar out of any trans action like this because it stands for more than dollars, they represent the blood of the best manhood in America
 "Be It Further Resolved, that this resolution condemning the sale of Lib erty Bonds fer less than par value and thei pruchse by any individual be given publicity bv publishing the same in the daily press of this city; to the end that no man or institution shall make a penny in either the sale or the purchase of Liberty bond.

''The devil called the Kaiser ep.
And said 10 him. Dear Bill,
I've got job that is vacant
That l know that you can fil.
ITO fill the job that is vacant.
You must have neither heart nor soul,
Know how TO lie. the truth deny,
Yet smile. like devils will.
I've had many applications.
From scores as they go past;
But none of them could qualify.
So I've called on you at last.
You must ,ccupy the throne of hell.
Dressed villa helmet. gilt and gloss,
Bring long that cross Of yours,
So tfe diyil will know who is Boss.
you will find many faces here,
That you have known in former years.
You will recognize their mustache.
Though they have horns in place of ears.
You can bring the royal SONS along,
We have places for them all,
We will start a little empire here,
And make you boss Of all.
You will not need your war ships.
Your submarines or guns,
Your gas mask might GENE handy,
If you meet some former Huns.
1.-THE fires here burn fercely,
The tOrtuTes here are most grand,
But Nietsche says you have me beat,
As ruler over the Fatherland.
You know just how to manage,
The work that IS done in hell,
Your record for the past four years
Brings out that fact quite well.
You have heard not, cries Of hunger.
You honor crime and vice,
You have murdered entire families.
Children, man and wife.
TO these deeds Of crime and shame,
You take honor the boss.
You decorate the murderer,
With solid iron cross.
we save you all that trouble,
When you are ruler here in hell.
For the more the devils commit crime,
The greater il the hell.
You will have no obligations.
That you are required TO ell.
But just be -uieT over hell,
And make hell what you will.

For your wel.Ome will be swell
When you greet the HoenzolleFns.
