New York, Feb. Might at the
Follies: There's no denying the ola
magic. Florenz Ziegfeld is dead, but
what he created was mood, hush
ed breathlessness in the moment be-
fore the curtain rises, q certainty that
life truly begins at $40.
In the newest edition of "The Zieg-
field Follies," most of the old wizardry
remains. Nostalgia critics carp and
declare that mystical elements are
missing from the brew. But they are
merely lamenting lost youth: THE
Follies" is as lush, as prodlgal, as
eye-and-ear-filling as ever.
To be perfectly honest, l have seen
"Follies' under the aegis of the late
great impresario himself which were
not SO memorable as this one. 1 have
perhaps, seen better editions too; it's
hard to remember because night at
''Thc Follics" are SO interviewer with
the stuff Of youth--lOng-p planned, in
cfrable leash-snappings away from
school or up from Washington in cub
rcportorial days: climbs to balcony
seventh heaven to finish squandcring
half a weeks salary-the first New
York years.
The institution is a grand one and
l am glad to sec it nobly upheld III
the current offering by the shubertS,
supervised, appropriately, by Billie
Burke, Ziegfeld's widow
Fannie Brice offers her usual pleas
antly expert and chuckly vulgarities;
she is the only woman I know who
can win you with a sort of morbid.
~ h Sho no too CHAIR and
somewhat cattily shrewd perception
Of feminine prctensions. Her cruel
burlesques of child movie stars and
arty modernistc dancers, a la Mary
Wigman and Doris Humphreys, will
perhaps never be exceeded for bright,
hilarious malice.
The new "Follies", underscores, too,
the rapid rise of dcft and ingrat-
iating young comedian, Bob Hope.
Hope, who has some of the debonair
swagger Of Maurice Chevalier, amaz-
ed me with the Statement that he
planned originally to be a prizefighter.
A hard right to the jaw from the fist
of none other than the now celebrated
Johnny Risko decided him that he
would live longer as an actor-and
perhaps make more money, too. The
late Fatty Arbucle gave him his start

twinkle and twirl with such nimble-
ness that the terping of the tappers
like Eleanor Powell and Ruby Keller
seems tame in comparison. These
girls are born dancers, "Follies" vete-
rams and possessed of a considerable
fame in Europe, despite their tender
years.
There is, too, a variety of other tai
ent, some of it headline calibre.. jose
phine Baker, the mulatto femme ia
tale, who escaped from Harlem cho-
rus to dance in the Paris "Folies Be-
gere" with a small bunch of bananas
for costume, slithers through some
magnificent sets and even sings in
French-accented and, I suppose, exo-
tic voice. If you respond to the
throaty lyrics of the recent torch
song epoch you will be thrilled by the
warblings of Gertrude Niesen; if not
you will tolerate her as a pleasingly
curved young woman.

securely in possession of the Darda-

and British forces, and while threat

Bringing Bulgaria into the war was
proving coup for Teutonic statecraft
worth 100 additional divisions in the
fronts, for it had enabled Serbia to
be crushed and rich new sources of
supply opened to the military ma
chine of the Central Powers.
And yet, with all these advantages.
The TeutOnic powers were not in a
position to deal a crushing blow to
the enemy Even as the general staff

what unrestricted submarine warfare

4. Governor Edward b. Dudley, Oc-

S. The following resolution was

profound reverence for the memory
of George Washington, we will honor
the day Of his birth, not by adjourn

on the Constitution the great prin-
ciples Of justice and liberty, which
has made his name illustrious.
6. In his message to the special ses-
sion of the legislature in January,
1866 Governor Worth estimated that
the war had cost the state two-thirds
of her entire wealth. In connection
with the banks he said, Before the
war we had solvent banks with capt.
tai exceeding $8,O0O,OOO and circul-
alton of about the same amount. This
capital is lost, and the currency, pro

military success was at high tide. Her
Mitteleuropa was all but completed.
She was capable of holding off any

from that she had attained in the first
days of the war and in certain re-
spects, more satisfactory. For now,
unlike 1914, there was no immediate
prospect of a Russian offensive. Aus
