(Some Weeks IMapse)
Something like the dlniculty of pigeon
holing a moonbeam ami cataloguing It by
the card-Index t-ystem nttends the process of
classifying J M. Hurrle'H (lights of foot
light fancy Mere dispassionate, description
of the hcenes nnd drnmatlc framework of
"A Kiss for Cinderella" may be as accurate
as the census and still no hint of the witch
ery of his product Is conveyed. A .London
lavey- whose body Is uh underfed as her
imagination Is nourished on poverty mid
hardship, steps Into dreamland and enacts
the classic fairy tale of Cinderella, accord
ing to the scope and limitations, whimsical,
comical, pathetic and tender, of her starved
little cockney t-oul Actors In her real life
drama are glorified Into hUperb personages
of her lslon after n fashion which In
superficial inechatilcr somewhat suggests.
"The Poor Little Melt Cllrl." Her awaken
ing brings with It inevitable love passages
between tho nnlve young policeman who
had been the prince ut the enchanted ball,
The delicacy of such a play fabric de
pends entirely upon who sits at the dram
atic loom Without the indescribable Uarrle
touch, "A Kl.ss for Cinderella" might he
mere clumsy extravaganza. Quickened by
the spurs of his lnexhaustlblo fancy' It be
comes a gem of superlative art as Inde
finable as it Is exquisite In Its character
istic fusion of smiles and tears. It lius
become a toinmonplaco to call Ilarrle's
mhlmslcalltj unreined, but this verdict Is
not wholly true, for a most potent check on
his sanguine Imagery Is omnipresent. Tills
bridle Is taste. Its gracious presence ever
compel complete acceptance of his most
untamed brain children. They exhale the
allurement of spontaneity. And when thus
armed no peak of whimsy Is too perilous to
ba scaled
In "Peter Pat)" the simplicity and ap
parent artlehsness of tho fable set forth
renders It easily adaptable to childish
brains and to those adults who havo not
forgotten youth "Tho Legend of Leonora,"
which has still valid claims for recogni
tion as the author's finest achievement, at
tempted the dllllcult task of bjendlng batlre
and a certain amount of delicate philosophy
amid realistic surroundings. "A Kiss tor
Cinderella" tecalls moods of both these
plays, dovetailed lit a way subtler than
any vein In which the Barrle inspiration
has yet worked
The new piece Is far less sunny, less
llghtheartcdly gay, than the earlier legend
of Kensington Gardens. Fun Is dazzllngly
Irradiated at times and even satire, as
witness the delectable conceit of Lord
Times," whose conittiandlngly pompous In
terference with Cinderella's ball Is one of
the sheer delights of the play. But Bairle,
with all his fondnebs for romance, with all
his polished dalliance with the unreal. Is
seemingly ever aware that "A Kiss for
Cinderella," fabulous though It be, is theatri
cal entertainment submitted In the period
of the most terrible upheaval of world
annals. Ills little heroine's touching ma
ternal inclinations lead her to the adoption
of a quartet of little waifs. Lovingly she
stows them In the cunnlngest of improvised
box-like cradles, romantically bracketed to
the walls of tiie tiny "penny shop" which
she conducts during her "oft" hours as char
maid of a kindly artist. One child Is a
London orphan, one Is from France, the
third from Belgium and tho fourth is a
flaxen-haired .Gretchen of Germany. It is
her mothering of the enemy alien that In
spires the mysterious actions which even
tually result In setting delightful Policeman
Datld on her trail.
What other literary craftsman but Barrle
would have been so exquisitely and appenl
Itjgly daring? When wo hear of a Teutonic
Playwright returning the compliment In
any form, hope H a world civilization may
e renewed. As It Is, we rejoice In our
undaunted exponent of humanity, the mira
cle worker of Kirriemuir.
It may be added that this unique "Penny
, Bhop scene and the wholly captivating
ana amusingly rapturous episode of the
ba 1 represent the high water mark of in
sniratlon In the new play. The flnul act,
although prettily written. Is rather static
ana Imparts a sense of antl-cllmax. It
engenders the feeling that the logical end of
Underella's romance was a tragedy which
uie author's (bounteous, tenderness, had
scarcely the courage to face. Only once

tributed a portrait considerably more defi
nite and techlncally polished than several
her latest characterizations. Tho open
ing scene revealed a few lapses into her
wml lar and conventional clfln mannerisms,
out In the main her art was painstaking
and wlnnlngly sincere. Morton Selton as
the- warm-hearted artist and William Boyd

Jiawless delineations of admirably drawn

emphasized by the ever expert Peyton Car

Tho simplicity wltfi which this third re
leaso upon tho (loldwyn rogram has been
mado serves to bilng out more forcibly
the author's story. This Is u different typo
of production from the other Gnldwyn offer
ings, for It relics upon tho ability of tho
players to carry It through While Maxlne
KUIott Is tho advertised etar, sho docs not
claim tho 'spectators' entire uttentlon, nl
though this Is her Initial film uppearance.
She screens very well and her stitucsque
beauty Is effective as It was upon tho hinge.
As the wife of tho man sent to prison by
"big Interests." sho wis required to portray
both a loving, guiding wife and also u
scheming siren It was her sound footllght
experience that always kept her art faith
ful to the character of this wealthy, high
minded woman, and made her portrait vivid
and sincere. Many another actress might
have been tempted to overact this role.
Charles Dalton, who happens to be Gael,
In "Tho AVaiiderer," at the Metropolitan,
conj.rlbutes tho most Interesting acting of
tho company with his delineation of a
financial king, who Is the brains of a huge
combine of interests. His ability as a
character actor Is here conspicuously dis
played. Henry Cllve, heretofore known as a
comedy magician. Is tho husband, who has
little to do but look pleasant. William T
Carleton was the lifelike district attorney,
while Uric Hudson and Began Hughston
had auxiliary roles.
VICTORIA "Intolerance." "a aun rlav of the
ituee, written anu uirecieu tiy u. w, tirir
llth. Those who regard moving pictures as an
art capable of opulent development have
enthusiastically cited "Intolerance" as tri
umphantly justifying their theories. This
unique film spectacle. In which four stories
illustrative of the course of blind prejudice
at different periods of the world's history
are expertly dovetailed, created a deep Im
pression when It was revealed for a long
run In this city at tho Chestnut Street Opera
House last season. In magnitude of design,
In photography and In Its exhibition of a
keen sense of motion picture effects the film
was generally regarded as an advance over
D. W. Grlttlth's other highly successful pro
duction, "The Birth of a Nation.'" Tartlcu
larly notable amid the kaleidoscopic succes
sion of scenes presented In "Intolerance"
are those relative to the fall of Babylon,
which historic episode has been staged with
startling vividness as well as with a com
mendable respect for archeological nccuracy.
STRAND "Ilnli'a Wary." tlth Marguerite
Clark Adapted from the stories by Mary
Roberta ninehart and directed by J. Searle
Pawley. Paramount production.
Mrs. Illnehart explains that a "Sub-D'b"
Is a girl who Is not yet a debutante and
who Is not expected to take part In the
events of society. To the readers of the
Saturday Evening Pout this explanation la
unnecessary, for they should bo well ac
quainted with this delightful character by
this time, since the stories all appeared In
that publication. "Bab'a Diary" Is the
first of this series and if the others are
as well prodjiced as this one then there
need bo no' fear of having them transcribed
Into motion photography. No need to re
peat the story here, for It would spoil some
delightful fun as well as modify Interest In
some of the unexpected things that Miss
Clark is called upon to do, Nigel Barrle,
the dancer. Is the chief support.
"Jack and the Beanstalk" continues to
attract thousands of children and grown-ups
with Imagination to the Arcadia, where this
fanciful screen play began Its last week
yesterday. Tho Regent's offering Is "llas

with Pauline Frederick. Is the chief feature
of the Strand's bill. "When a Man Sees
lied," with William Farnum, heads the cur
rent program at the Palace.
"Mado in Philly" Nixon Grand
The biggest act that comes to the Nixon
Grand this season, "Made In Philly," capti
vated the uudlence. From start to finish It
was breezy and full of humor, although a
few of the Jokes could have been consid
erably freshened. A cast of twenty-five
characters, composed largely of Phlladel
phlans, well costumed, and amid splendid
scenic effects, carried off the act with ease
and grace. There was an abundance of ap
plause and the audience apparently was
well pleased.
The Klralfy Kids, two versatile juvenile
entertainers; William Dick, a singing come
dian, who brought out all the qualities of a
mellow guitar, and Kaufman and Lillian,
in a Jolly singing and talking skit, added to
the mirth of the audience.
William Penn "The Modiste Shop"
Pretty girls, elaborate costumes and
catchy muslo are the trio of charms which
make a success of "The Modiste Shop," the
headllner at the William Penn last night.
Two close seconds on the bill in point of
popularity were Chlnke and company and

Cressy and Day no, and "Hallow

Features of Bright Bill
Try to think how long It would take, a
person to wrlto 142 one-act plays. Then
Picture nn author who began such a task
after ho hud t-pctit many years In tho
"legitimate." Add to that about twenty
llv years and you get a rough Idea as to
tho time that Will M. Cressy lias been
appearing behind tho footlights.
Irrelevant? Not at nil. It not only
protcs that Mr. Cressy has Doctor Osier
lashed to the mast, but also Indicates, Judg
ing from his sketch at Keith's this week,
that this persevering author Is only In the
middle of his career.
With Blanche Dayne. Mr. Cre.s'y presents
"A City Case." It's his 142d r.ketoh and
Is Just HI times better than anything ho
has glen us so far.
In bare outline, tho story tells of a poor
country girl who after becoming ilrh (.ends
for an old country lawyer whom ho knew
In childhood nnd engages him to manago
her estate. Tho aged attorney finds that
his client possesses many traits of ciuelty,
and manages to transfotm her Into a crea

It Is to stretch the human conscience to son
only that sldo of a case which has tho best
financial attractions. Philosophy and wit
splco tho story to a 1917 taste. The audi
ence laughed and applauded.
Jumping from fact to fancy, there was by
way of diversion a delightful fantasy entl
tied "ilallcueen." Colorful settings, b'eau
tlful lighting effects, together with nimble
and daring sprites who floated dlaphanouslv
through huunteU caves and woodlands, gave
a decided touch of tho mystic to this elab
orate production.
' And then there were witches Who mado
wishes come true and a dczeit pretty girls
who appeared and vanished at the dash of
a magic wand.
The production Is headed by Alice ills
and Bert French, who are ably assisted by
James Templeton nnd Frances French In
the leading roles. The act Is an autumnal
treat.
Pleasing follery Intermingled with good
songs brought a good harvest of laughs to
the Jllsses Llghtner and Newton Alexander
They grabbed the audience at the start and
didn't let go until they took their last bow
"Who Was to Blamo?" presented by
Elsie Williams and company, seems to
leave the responsibility on tho nuthor Tho
sketch was well acted. The plot Is based
on a quarrel over a talt cellar between
husband and wife. There aro tears, broken
dishes and much hysteria. Women usually
laugh when a newly married woman cries
and so they did last night.
Hans Kronold, International cellist, of
fered melodies of the masters In authorltu
tlvo stylo. Vaughn Comfort and John
King repeated their legal travesty with
godd results ; Asakl juggled and skated
satisfactorily and George and Lilly Gar

The becond episode of the German re
treat at the ltattlo of Arras concluded the
show. J. G C
Bungalow Girls Empress
The spirit of autumn Is brought out em
phatically lit "The Bungalow Girls," which
headlines the show at tho Empress. This
Is a tabloid along entirely new lines and
gives opportunity for lots of good comedy
and brand new situations. Tho girls aro
pretty, and present many new musical num
bers with much spirit and dash.
Aldra Alnsloy pleased In an Interesting
sketch, and good acts were also offered by
Barrett and JIurray, and Borne and Cox,
who brought forth an abundance of ap
plause. The pictures wero timely and Inter
esting. Duchess Models Cross Keys
Up-to-the-minute songs, novel dances,
and a bevy of pretty girls form a combina
tion which makes "The Duchess Models"
presented by Ted Rellly a worthy-feature
at the Cross Keys. The act Is. staged Vwlth
much attention to detail, and the costumes
and scenery are all that could be desired.
Other good acts ot the bill Included
Ward and Cullen, Ilawson and Clare,
Splegal and Jones, and Weber and lied
fern. There was plenty of news In the pictures
and a good photoplay rounded out the bill.
"The Bungalow -Girls" Is the feature- for
the last half of the week.
Farrell Taylor Trio Nixon
Many very timely topics figure on the
bill at the Nixon. The man higher up
Is conspicuous in the photoplay "Come
Through." while up-to-the-minute subjects
are conspicuous In the vaudeville portion
of the program.
Tho Farrell Taylor Trio, one of vaude
