Now, Miss New York—for she 6 med quite at home—anight have sald She could easily have given Paris a dig by saying the view she was enjoying surpassed the one offered from the balcony of the Grand Oper House. To be sure, the skeleton-back enchanting, but happily it is far iem't so bad. OR one thing, there hos been a marvellous change in summer shows since the time when the Prond position of headliner on a roof farden was held by a cow, Occasion ally the late Oscar Hammerstein would bring over a dancer from Paris, but somehow he seemed to think more of the cow. Sitting back of his big block he would gaze upon It with proprietary ight and smile indulgently whenever a Broadway vintage missed her cue, Life then was #0 simple that one cotid speak to a waiter right out loud and keep his mind on the performance. ‘The bill usually included a ragtime winger with a voice guaranteed to carry to the North River ferry, rope- skipping damsels in pink tights, an educated dog that could add up a supper check, and a lightning-change artist who felt the heat terribly, But these performers were turned loose, merely to keep us from going distract- e4 {n our eagerness to see ihe naughty girl from Paris. When at last she wriggled into view we were utterly dazzled by her spangies. She shook them at us, together with more na tural possessions, threw us kisses from Ips running a high temperature, and then proceeded sto torture the ears with sounds that in Paris had passed for singing, the orchestra leader at the same time giving a thoroughly realistic imitation of a man going violently in- sane. Another charming feature of an opening night on the Victoria Roof to which we could look forward confi- Gently was rain. How we did get it in the ‘neck! T WAS not so many years after- ward that Mr. Ziegfeld felt he was wasting his young life. He would take his place on the heights and give Beauty a boost. Clambering to another roof, a-cordingly, we sat en- raptured at the vision of an awfully well-bullt charmer dangling over our heads in a Awing of roses and fire- proofed vines. Holding on for dear fe, she burst into song, but even this did not break the spell. Seeing her was enough, her voice didn't matter. That's what the “Follies’’ was like fn the beginning. Now look at the gorgeous thing! On Monday night it came to us again and kept us up very late. Yet we stayed as though we feared sleep might rob us of some- thing rich beyond our wildest dreams. Our Russian friends of the Chauve- Souris have brought still more gayety and color into the week with their new programme. Perched on the Century Roof they have an ideal home for their glorified vaudeville, It fairly flames to the sky. In view of all this it is rather Screenin SPECIAL SHOWING. “Wero,” the big William Fox special now on view in New York, will be given a special private showing in ‘Washington a week from next Sun- day, at which it is expected President and Mrs. Harding will be the guests of honor. The arrangements for the private showing were completed yesterday by Mrs. Edward Beals McLean with Fox oMicials, The showing will take place fn her wonderful summer home, Friendship, just outside the capital, and the occasion will be the annual dinner given by Mr. and Mrs, MaLean for the Diplomatic Corps. At the Fox offices last night it was ‘announced that the entire orchestra now playing the Nero music by Erne Rapee will be sent to Washington on & special train for the private showing. SWITCHBACKS.
