I agree.?√ß yyjy : ' ?√ß . wy ? ?√ß ?√ß I TO MOOD FOR THE NEW FOLLIES," SHOW OPENS WITH GIRLS IN ELEGANT PLUMAGE TRAIPSING JJP AND DOWN STAIRS SINGING "BRING ON THE GIRLS" GIRLS STILL GLORIFY TOLLIES' Beauties carry on Ziegfeld tradition and Bea Lillie carries on the comedy When the lights go up on a stage full of beauties (above) in the new Ziegfeld Follies, it is gratifyingly clear that the new show is sticking to the tradition started by Florenz Ziegfeld 50 years ago. The girls are gorgeous and dressed fit to kill?╟÷above the neck. Lavish girl shows have long been out of style on Broadway. The Follies stands as a kind of gaudy and expensive ($300,000) valentine to a bygone era of glitter. Its producers, who bought the right to use Ziegfeld's name, have not matched his standard of catchy songs which used to pour from such writers as Irving Berlin. But they have wisely commissioned Beatrice Lillie to carry on the comedy. Kidding the pants off all stagy glamor girls, Bea is back at her familiar perch on the moon and is up to her best irreverent tricks as a reluctant harem queen, an airline hostess, an elegant lady dining alone in a restaurant, and in a take-off of My Fair Lady in which she sings CT think the stink is mainly in the sink." Along with another valuable comedian named Billy De Wolfe, Bea is always on hand to keep the show from getting smothered in its own fine feathers. CONTINUED
