Therefore, we crave Cin- derella stories and plays just as con- sistently as we crave Songs about mother and circuses in the spring- time. “Cinders,” the new musical comedy at the National Theater this week, {a the very latest version of this age- old story, and is one of the most delightful of the many similar pro ductions of the past few years. “Cin- ders” seems to have a hard time de- ciding just what particular type It shall belong to. It tries, evidently, to combine “‘Follies” gowns and clever in-between skits, “Irene” style of singing and group dancing, and vaudeville dance speclalities. Yet the simple story gives the whole a plea: ing unity, and the tunes, of which “One Good Time" is the principal, are include a thrilling airplane dash over the gone-mad waters jailed in Gaton dam, and of the vaudeville horse on his way from Europe to give imita- tions of American stars of the movies. METROPOLITAN—“The Light in the Dark.” Hope Hampton, Lon Chaney and E. K. Lincoln are featured in “The Light in the Dark,” the photoplay shown this week at Crandall's Metropolitan Theater. Late at night in a driving rain a for- lorn young miss is wending her way homeward~—or roomward, for she lives (In @ cheap lodging in the “rooms to let” district of New York city—from her job as check girl in a downtown establish- ment, and she is run_over by a motor car driven by a wealthy woman, who lives ‘with her brother in_one of the l(vll.\ s finest residences. The woman akes th tim home with her and surrounds her with luxury. And so How the Spanish beauty seeks her true love, sends him to prison, effects his temporary release, finally cul- minating her fight for love by a mag- nificlent stroke of romantic delicacy is all depicted with artistry, In coherent and convincing manner. Estelle Taylor scintillates as the Spanish singer. She plays with dash and sparkle, tender and brlillant by turns. Edith Roberts, as Violet, the sweetheart and wife, is excellent. Other members of the cast, all of whom are entirely ur to their parts, include Evelyn Selble, Arthur Hull, John Coasar and Carl Stockdale, A rollocking comedy, with “Pop” of Toonerville Trolley fame, Fox News, Fun from the Pres: and_a speclal number by the Rialto Orchestra un- der Director George Wild, completes a fine program.

The story takes a handful of peo- ple, puppet-likg in the way _in which the: e shaken and juggled about, thrown together in other combina- tions and then separated again. Yet the cast is so competent that it clothes these puppets with individual characteristics that hold the interest throughout. Bebe Daniels is the im- pulsive heroine whose high ideals and extravagant fight for supremacy, forming -principal struggle of the story. Nita Naldi, supervamp wife of an old millionaire, offers striking contrast to the heroine, and Rubye de Remer is the frivolous society matron to perfection. David Powell gives a sympathetic portrayal of the much-harassed and embarrassed young author, and Maurice Costello draws a conventional picture of the doting rich husband of a cold-hearted beauty. This tale of the struggles of a young girl against her environment, with its many side lights on the So- clal ideals and fofbles of the present day, is one of the most interesting of the ‘many on this subject which have been presented on the screen. The jazz selections by the orchestra seemed to be much appreclated, also.

A New York Artist Says: Yoz have given to conventional Isnes the touch of character which enhances beauty.” PALACE—“The Girl I Loved.” Chagles Rav, in “The Girl I Loved,” brought to Loew's Palace Theater | yesterday a memory of “That Old Sweetheart of Mine,” for most men a.dear sentiment of the past, and for James Whitcomb Riley a life romance Which forms the ‘background of the story adapted and produced by the star. The picture has its setting in rural | Indiana at a time when the circuit rider was a coming-and-going event when a red ear of corn at a husking bee started romance; when basques and Shaker sunbonnets flourished and only human nature was the same as today. As the half-grown son of a widow who has just adopted Orphan Mary, Charles Ray is laughably mean to the new sister he doesn't want. There are teasings, and there would be fights, except that the girl, happily appreciative of her new home and kin, follows him around with smiling readiness to accept whatever small tyrannies he might choose to inflict. Time_steps along to husking bees, barn dances to the music of “the only organ in three countles” and to moonlight rides along rail-fenced roads, until at last, when the boy awakes to the realization of love, it is to learn that Mary has promised herself to a suitor more alert. The consequences that come of this knowledge give the star opportunity to do emotional work that is so un- derstandable to those who cherish a faded-rose memory of “That Old Sweetheart of Mine” that it might be put conservatively as the best dis- play of facial expression of heart- grief which the star has yet been called on to achieve. To tell the out- come would be another case of rob- bing the peach of its bloom; of some- how exploiting the hallowed senti- . ment of “That Old Sweetheart of Mine.” But it is a simple, whole- some play that reflects credit alike The Great American Sweetmeat Monkey and Goat Glands for Rejuvenation Why think of gratting them?
