In a long-distance phone to
Sam Harrison, at the New

other end of the wire, the fol-
lowing single-fire conversa-
ton resulted:
"Sam, don't fail to keep
the Follies constantly before
the public. Say that we have
more girl-beauties than in
any other show extant, except
than in-but l don't want to
say anything about kid
Boots" Emphasize the fact,
Sam, that the new Follies in
its present form is the best of
the series, and, in fact, the
best show / ever produced
except 'Kid'-but l don't want
to make any exception. Say
that it took nearly a fortnight
to get the Follies in its pres
ent shape. It'll only take a
few performances to shape up
'kid'-but there / go again.

NATIONAL
Burton Holmes.

Berlin as it was before the war
and as it Is today, was graph
cally illustrated by Burton
Holmes during the course Of his
travelogue yesterday afternoon
and last night at the National,
on vienna to Berlin and The
Ruhr."
We have seen better pictures
and listened to more entertaining
lectures than that shown yester-
day by the famous lecturer, but
as explained by him, his lecture
was difficult to show, in that con-
ditions in the former waring ma
ton are "a state of mind-some-
thing that cannot be photo
graphed."
Many interesting pictures, how.
ever, were shown of Vienna, Ber
lin and parts Of the Ruhr. French
occupants of the Ruhr valley
still exercise a rigid censorship
and the pictures that one would
like to have seen were not acces-
sible, Mr.. Holmes explained.
Inter den Linden, the Fried
rich Strasse, and q multitude Of
other still and motion pictures
were shown giving in comparison
present conditions with those be-
fore the war One of the things
that impressed us was the Ger
man peoples reverence for their
former ruler. AS an example was
shown the Brandenburg Gate, on
Inter den Linden, one section Of
which in the old days was driven
through only by the Kaiser. To-
day the gate is ungarded but no
motorist or cabby ever drives
through that particular portal.
Many of the pictures in Berlin
were Of the royal family's palaces,
now abandoned, many of them
devoted to museums.
In the industrial districts, pic
lures were taken showing some
of Germany's famed artisans skill
in the manufacture of laces, hat
bands, cloak and suit labels, much
of which is consumed IN America.

QUEER DOINGS
UP AT THE

It's almost as gala a time for
the kids in Washington thus week
as it would be if the circus were

visit, at the Shubert Belasco.
Many juvenile heart will beat
high at prospect Of seeing this
king of egerdemain-and many
not so juvenile!
ThurSton, as usual, presents
the old line with new and start
Ing touches. Enhanced by a
bcvy of briefly charm
ers his act combines the old
standby and the latest develop
ment in magic side by side. There
is the time-worn trick of netting
live pigeons from the apparently
empty atmosphere-and q start
lingly beautiful and mystifying
human fountain. There is the
ever-horriferous saving of
pretty girl into two separate
haIves-and the subsequent res
trick that has been puzzling
years. There are innumerable

and goldfish bowls and chickens

to the ridiculous, Thurston's
magic holds his audiences under
a peculiar spell.

the magic Of Howard Thurston
is not SO much an exhibition Of
uncanny powers and ability to
mystify as 1t is one Of the great
est examples Of team-play known
to modern times. Thurston takes
the credit for his tricks-and
perhaps. having been to the trou-
BILE to originate most Of them,
deserves it-but in the actual

fullest honors should fall upon
the shoulders of those who go to

assistants. Stage hands, girls,

comedy In two scenes, called
Little Cinderella, !" in which Doro-

are starred, supported by five
dancing and singing girls. Miss
Waters is a genuine comedienne
who works naturally. The act is
well staged and costumed. Then
follow Harry Adler. and Rose
Dunbar, offering Laughter as

funnier than ever to look at and
hear. His limitations are clever1y

Betty C0mbSOn Does Her
Best Picture

The entire army Of compli-

called into service to describe the
perturbation of Michael Morton's
stage play, Woman to Woman"
being shown at Moore's Rialto
this week.
FlawIess direction, lavish ex-
penditure on staging and cos
tunes, a forceful story, and
beautiful Betty Compson, with ex-
cellent supporting cast, make it a
work of art.
No detail has been neglected in
the scenic effects. In the in
teriors, costly elegance keeps
within the bounds Of good taste,
while the theater scene might

to display q finer talent than
heretofore she has been known to
possess. The most critical play
