There was pause in the CONVEX

Indeed it is. I've got to strike out

President Roosevelt the recall of

"A STUBBORN CINDERELLA"

The much talked of and long herald. ed quality musical play, "A Stubborn Cinderella" will be the attraction at Dreamland Tuesday evening. Messrs. Adams, Hough and Howard, authors of those big successes, "The Time, the Place and the Girl" "The Girl Ques- tion," "Honey Moon Trail" are re- sponsible for the book and music of "A Stubborn Cinderella, !" and the show it. self was produced by Mort K. Singer at the opening of the beautiful Princess theater in Chicago a year ago. At the premier of this piece every critic in Chicago declared it the greatest musical show that had been seen in the Windy City, and many of them prophecied it would remain there full year, and subsequent events make it apepar that they will remain there for two years, so great has been it's success.
 "A Stubborn Cinderella" is quite differnet from the regular order of mus ical plays from Chicago, the charae ters being on much higher social plane No slang artist and no "BroiI- CTS" are seen in this piece, but a beau tiful chorus of handsomely gowned show girls add attractiveness to the several scenes. A bunch of jolly col lege chaps and pretty girls from Scot land furnish the story, while numerous songs that are distinctive hits make the show go with dash and swing from the very start.
 Homer B. Mason heads the cast of characters and is supported by most capable company, including Grace Ed. mund and Marguerite Keeler. The striking song numbers of the show are "When You First Kiss the Last Girl You Love, :" Glove Me Just Because" !" eff They'd Only Let Poor Adam s Rib Alone" CT I'm in Love With All the Girls I Know" 'What's the Use,' and many others help to make the show the big success it is.
