NATIONAL-"Going Up."

The clever manipulation of the plot
OF Going Up" the musical farce pre-
sented by Cohan & Harris at the
National this week. brings the same
mer appearance here. Raymond Crane,
as the author who writes so we'll of
aviation that it is taken for granted
he understands flying, recalls the late
Sol Smith Russell forcibly. and is hon.
est1y funny. The humorous situations
of the story furnish spontaneous
hilarity, but the music of Louis Hirsch
inspires more than a passing pleas
ure. Such familiar themes as those of
Going Up" III You Look Into Her
Toe" receive new fire when heard in
their home environment, and one well
comes their CHEEKY lilt in the Joyous
context of the piece.
Robert Street has written a book
called Going Up and. seeking rest
and quiet. unfortunately reaches a
summer hotel where his fame pre-
cedes him. A chorus of attractive
young women is reading his book and
singing his praises, and he is led into
which is purely an imaginary one. A
French aviator (Mario Vallani) en-
ters upon the scene, and an air race
is arranged between him and the lit
erary man of the air. Street is fright
ened, but the assistance of a mecha-
nician weighing about three hundred
pounds IS obtained. and the latter
with the aid of a table, chair, walking
stick and two calling cards, teaches
Street how to fly. Seeking means of
escape from the flight, Street and his
friends, now fearful for his safety
resort to all sorts of expedients, but
the simple faith reposed in him by
maiden Norma Brown) brings out
the American courage in the writer,
and he braves death to win her love-
1t is musical farce, SO it is per-
fectly allowable for Street to make
the flight, and, remaining in the air
long enough to win great victory
over the astonished Frenehman, re-
turn in triumph.
Miss Brown is a winsome inspiration to
the frightened hero, and the Took in
her eyes," of which she sings prettily,
is effective. Loretta Marks presents a
vivacious chum for the girl Street
loves, and conveys the impression she
means it when she declares, musically,
'I want determined boy" Mr. Viii
1ani. as the French aviator, excels
rather in singing. He has a good voice,
which is heard to advantage in Go
ing Up" Jack Patton, as Streets
friend, is properly light, and Edward
Begley, relieving the anxious situa-
tion as the big teacher Of flying, ap-
propfiately and heavily funny. The
performance is well staged.

PETITIONS OUT
FOR PAVING WORK

Petitions are being circulated and
are being numerously signed asking
the city council to take steps to pave
College street from Sixth street to
Fifteenth street.
The plan of paving proposed is for
the city to pay one-third of the cost
and the property holders the other
two-thirds, based on the abutting
frontage of each property holder on
each side of the street.
The proposed plan would extend the
paving now under construction to Six
tn street to the street Immediately
east of the college. This would give
Columbus one of the finest paved
streets in the South for College street
with its beautiful shade trees. and
handsome homes would compare in
appearance with any street in the
South.
The petitions are being signed by
practically every property holder on
College street and there is a strong
demand and sentiment for the paving
on every hand.
