Most Belioved of American Actresses Will Appear . in Most Appealing of Series of Dramatic Triumphs The coming of Maude Adams.to the ’ Auditorium Saturday, May 4, is be- ing awaited with considerable pleas- which she is to be seen is Barrie’s uré for the reason thatthe play in latest comedy, “A Kiss for Cinderella.” A new role tor this actress and a new play from the pen of the gifted Scotch dramatist are not every-day occur- rences in the theatre, so with the welcome awaiting both curiosity co- mingles: with pleasure. Barrie calls his play. a “fancy” and a most whim- sical one it is dealing as it does with a war-time version of the oldest of fairy tales. This delightfully fantastic story treats of a plain, over-worked housemaid, who, denied the luxuries, and even the comforts of life, has real joy through the productiveness of her imagination. One of her cherished ideas is that she is Cinderella and that eventually will come a grant transfor- mation, like the one that attended the |.

The Auditorium was comfortably filled when the curtain.went up on the opener, which was, newer than the first act in “The Lady from Larimie,” and the Cutest Girl in Town,” and Go. ing Some,” because it introduced a corking good scene’in a western mov- ing picture studio. But from that time on one’s imagination. strayed along familiar paths of by-gone days. There was the scheming auntie, and the equally scheming adventuress. There was the villian, a-real duke by heck; there was the pretty little hero- ine, more skinned than: sinning; there was the lovely little ingenue—one.al- most caught oneself’ wondering what part she would play. on tomorrow night’s bill, and whether a’ fellow real- ly might get the lucky nurhber’on the big, Regina music box it he bought a seat for himself and HER every night. There was the’ hero, ‘the real sure- enough . stuff, rough-cut, poor * but honest, and there was the juvenile omely, skipsdme and all'of that. man, ‘c “SAnd there was the typical English but Yer, and the villain’s man-servant and by Barrie kitchen maid in the fairy tale, whose name she has adopted, and the second act of the play shows a visualization of a dream in which she finds fleeting realization of her fondest fancies. Inj the scene of the dream-ball Barrie lets loose his fancy in a comic court with a cockney king and queen who look like their pictures in a dingy pack of play-| ing cards. In one of the pretti love scenes that the sentimental dra matist has evolved the play is brought to a close. Some one.has said of the work that it is compounded of laugh- ter and unshed tears. In its pathos it is most appealing. Cinderella is a fine patriot. As her “bit” she is caring for four war orphans, and though she tries to hide the fact, one of them is German, showing her patriotism can- not interfere with her humanity. Miss Adams has staged the play with care and artistry. The supporting com- pany is made up of well known players. accomplice. There's the makin’s fell- ers—roll your own. Having seen a considerable smatter- ing of cowboys near and al- leged in tese here parts, we're willing to say that, Louis Bennison looks as likely ‘as the most of them. He was a manly, open- face, Waterbury works sort of fellow that kind-a took. Echlin Gayer did the perfect lady type of English duke —a type which the great war is dis- proving, as it has many another myth —and did very well. Personally, we thought little Lorraine Frost the pick of the lot. Jf our marrying days were not over we'd have been most likely to have done just what Bennison did, considering what he had to pick from. Vera Finley was a most scheming and devilish adventuress lady of the type popular before vamps became bruns popular before | vamps became brunettes, and Vera. Finley did Mrs. Tupper, society-struck and poorly upholstered in her cav- ity, very well. Roy Coch- rane was the heavy type of ‘English butler, and Frank Hollins the man-servant we used to see much of before we learned how to pronounce valet. We almost forgot the extra heavy villain, John Milton, the man who looted ‘the Boston &—no, it had anoth- er name in the story—but it was a railroad in which the widows and or- phans had invested their savings. Theodore Babcock’ did . Milton, who welched most unbecomingly inthe last act, as melodrama villains always do; and Aubrey Beattie was the fatherly type of counsellor-friend, doing it quite neatly. Clyde North was the juvenile lead, and he looked it, every curly lock of him. That was. about all. The heroine was ‘saved in the end—'twas a week- end party. She married the right man, and Johnny Wiggins married the right girl, and everybody forgave everybody except’ the villains and: villainesses, who had a falling out all-around, and the curtain rang ‘down to the tune of wedding bells and rice for two, in the good old fashioned way. 4 It was a good evening's, entertain- ment, wholesome and taking one back to old days of peace . and plenty, quietude and simplicity.
