chorus girls-that is one OF the reasons
why John Corts Flo Flo. which
opens at the Academy on Saturday
matinee and night. packed the Cort
theater in New York with enthusiastic
throngs nightly for months.
The eccentric dancing of the comedy
chorus. which so far as Is known, is
the only one ever in captivity, has been
the tohasco in the delightful Offering
of lovely lyrics clever lines and lacy
lingerie which has captivated the
fancy OF the Broadway theater-goers.
John Cort has given his chorus an
effective setting in the Bride Shop
His cast of principals, which numbers
only artists of established reputation
and popularity is most effective. The
story concerns the matrimonial intri-
que of a bongus count, an American
Oshkosh, Wise, also the beautiful
mannequin Flo-Flo. who exhibits COR
sets in the establishment Of Mosher
and the Simpson, proprietors Of the
Bride Shop and purveyors of lingerie

ASK CITY ATTORNEY TO
LOOK UP HELLO RATES

BY suspension of the rules. the
board of aldermen last night
unanimously passed the ordinance Of
fcred by Alderman Joseph c. Nun
nally, of Madison Ward, empowering
the city attorney to investigate the
franchise granted to the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone company
ascert&ining If the company has the
legal right to make the increase in
rates which it has just announced
and il its action has been illegal, to
take steps at once to prevent their
enforcement
Mr.. Nunnally said he believed that
neither the telephone company nor
the federal government. which re-
Gently took over the operation of the
line, has the authority to raise the
rates without the consent of the coun-
Gil He thinks the terms of the fran
chtse makes this ruling.
The existing franchise was granted
the southern, Bell Telephone and
Telegraph company on October IS
1901 Its time limit of thirty years
expires october Is. 1881, when the
city will have the option of acquir
ing the property at arbitration. The
franchise is said to be loosely drawn,
the rates not being specifically men,
