Mr. Ziegfeki'g ambition to put plot Into this summer's "Follies' haa come to nothing. He and bit plot of a musical show. Tour correspondent caught a glimpse of a dress rehearsal, at an early hour the other morning, and he suspected It to be big, beautiful, and, not funny, at least funnier. He learned also that the rumora of violence and bloodshed In the At antlo City preliminaries were exaggerations.

It has been aald that Mr. Walter Catlett, that sunny wag, becoming miffed by changes In his role, struck Mr. Ziegfeld an angry blow, and in return was set upon and beaten by the. outraged lm pressario. It was also announced that Miss Anne Pennington (who is to the human kneecap what Miss Mary Pick ford la to the human heart) ex chanced ugly words with Xuplno Lane, a British artist.

Mr. Lane's alien humor, It was said, found itself detained upon Miss Pennington's Ellis Island, and she was loath to let it enter. "If that. she exclaimed (according to the telegrams) "If that la an entertainer, then I am not!" Whereupon she smote the visiting Luplno and sent him. astonished, to his dressing rooms.

In the theater, small oaks from smaller acorns grow. It is true, I am told, that Miss Pennington, an 100 per cent. American danseuse, was mystified by Mr. Lane's trant Atlantio gestures and jocundities. Being what shs is candid.

U. and temperamental ahe demanded of Mr. Lane a solution of his humor. This he gave her during seve al patient lessons, and. now that he has explained his jokss to her, she and be are friendly.

All of this may seem trivial, but It really is not to (hose who know the theater and Its castoners.

The "Follies is perhaps a lastitutlon more national than is statesmanship, glorifying as it does the American girl. White arms are mora than McAdoo and red Hps superior to Carter Glass. 1.

But I am forretttng to ten why Mr. Walter Catlett absconded ta TOm the "Follies" In Atlantic City. It seems that he had contrived a witticism of which be was rather fondj know a maa. he wished to say, "who was so stinsry that he flred a gun on Christmas eve and told his children thst Santa Clans was dead." This interpolation evoked no laughter from Mr. Ziegfeld, the librettists or the members of the east.
