The plot is a bit thicker than the general run of burlesque shows, but still will not hold water. It is enough to keep the story together and give a fairly plausible reason for some of the comedy.
The show is strong in comedy many because of Charley Howard is a comedian who is funny.
Murtig & Seamon have a very good burlesque show in the "Follies." It will be better than seventy-five per cent of the shows that will be seen this season.
