NOW Fog THE FOLLIEs.
Way, up at the top of this column
something was mentioned about some
.Foilies. Well, here's something else
again. This Is about the Greenwich
Village Follies. which get under way
with all their jazzy glory tomorrow
night at Polls. In many ways the
Greenwich Village show is different
from anything ever attempted before
but 1t carries with 1t the same appeal
to the eye and ear. as much to the
one as to the other.

1ieved, the Greenwich Village Follies

associated with New York's Bohemian
