Large Audience Unstinting in Ap
plause at Opening Night
of Follien
The, Follies of 1925, the annual
show pufe.on by the Oregon state
prison, opened last night with
every seat in the auditorium
taken. There is no doubt but. that
it outshines any other show: ever
presented at the penitentiary, both
in entertainment and In the- high
class of -entertainment. - It.- wMl
close Saturday evening. ; '
The Follies of 1925 is nothing
more than a hodge-podge of .bar
raony and really mirthful comedy.
The jokes are real jokes. They
are funny, clean and not "smart."
No "wise cracks" -are made at
public officials and others, and no
iines of a questionable nature are
Included in the unusually high
class comedy. In this respect the
Follies of 1925 is an improvement
over several shows put ion at the
penitentiary in past years..
Fred Taylor, of course, is again
the star of the show. He is ab
solutely inimitable. The little
negro puts more high-powered
-umedy Into his lines than two
thirds of the comedians that reach
Salem in the regular road Bhows.
. The show is unusually well
staged. The lighting and scenic
j fleets are extremely effective, es
pecially in the last act of "Salem
5am," The scene takes place in
Hades but to tell about It would
;poil some of .the effect: tor-those
who are going to see it.
Each number on the program
ast night won tremendous ap
plause from . the audience. The
Oregon prison string orchestra Id
particular was extremely, fine, and
esponded to a number of encores;
The- orchestra, composed of It
nepr-presented an unusually fine
ipp.?arance. They were all dress
