Nationa-"Going Up.-

Cohan and Harris big musical com
edy success, Going Up" that ran
month after month on Broadway this
year. comes TO the National Theater
tonight. The book and lyrics, by Otto
Harbach. are based on THE Aviator"
the farce by James Montgomery.
Music was written by Louis A. HirsCh.
Comedy and music together have
made Going Up" one OF the most
successful Of the Cohan and Harris
productions. The company is headed
by Raymond Crane. The chorus is
capable and attractive. All these ele-
ments have played a part in the sue
cess attained by Going Up" since its
production last winter. Few other
New York productions Of the year en-
joyed such uninterrupted popularity
as did Going Up" The comedy itself
would furnish 4 rare nights entertain
ment, but for good measure the pro-
ducers have to offer some of the best
songs and dances of the century.
As the timid but romantic author who
has written a novel with an aviator
hero, and who is then called upon to
fly against a French challenger or
lose the girl they are both in love
with, is irresistible funny. The climax
OF the comedy will test the laughing
capacity of any playgoer. But equally
delightful Impressions to be taken
away from "GOi3g Up" are those
made by the catchy songs and breezy
dances. There will be the usual matt
mes on Wednesday and Saturday.

According To the appeal being made

There may be some who will "cut
