f~7O my way OF thinking there Is
| only one verdict regarding
- the eighteenth Ziegfeld Fol
lies.
This edition now on view at Eng
lish's is the best and funniest of all
the F-ollies that I have ever seen and
[ have seen nearly all Of them.
The opinion last year on the Fol
lies seen here was divided with the
majority being disappointed. This
year the story is entirely different.
The Foll!es last year. that is the
one seen here, lacked the comedy
which other revues possessed. The
edition which opened at English
last night is the funniest Follies I
have seen. At times the comedy IS
delicious and snappy hokum as
played by James Kelso, Lon Has
call. Nan Halperin. Hazel Dawn.
Bert Wheeler. Edna Ieedom and
the others Then right in an instant
il IS the wise saucy old bird splnng
nifty remarks. From a comedy
standpoint the Follies is gold
mine.
Remember this. please. have
always considered the Folues the
prettiest Of the revues. have
stated in the past that comedy Of
the hour is needed. The Follies re
mains in my estimation the pretti-
est Of all the revues. Now this is
not idle and cheap talk. DO not
write to please the box Office. I
write to tell you exactly what 7
think about a show. whether It IS
the Follles or anything else. II I
make an error in my Judgment IT
is my critical funeral and nobody
is 20 blame but me.
The Follies IS a high priced show.
That's true The F'ollies this sea
son IS worth every cent you pay for
it. II I thought you were being
cheated one cent would tell you
so. I am sure that the Folies now
with Us Is a real revue bY1y
