"Paris Isn't Paris Anymore," "French Girl and English Boy," "Madelon," French national anthem and "Over There."
Then came three hits in a row with Irene Bordoni and Lieut. Gitz-Rice starting it off. The "Paris Isn't Paris Anymore" number used to open and the "French Girl and English Boy" song, to second, were decided favorites with the audience. After this the lieutenant. offered his solo section of the entertainment and with his now well known war songs, tore right through the audience. The French soubret number that followed reminded one exceedingly of the Fay Templeton dressing it years ago. Then, after "Madelon" and "Over There," in French by Miss Bordoni, she managed to Geo M. Cohan herself by singing the French National anthem and
waving the tri-color. This latter trick pulled the turn over to big applause hit.
