James's we may be sure that the most
affectionately worn works are those oil
Charles Lamb. OF Thackeray and or
Dickens. And if Mr.. Bodie feels about
reference books as does the playwright
these are conspicuous by their alb
sonce. for Sir James has confessed
that there is but one such work IN his
1ihrarv-Bartlett's Familiar Quota
tions." The manner in which the play
WRIGHT uses this is as follows: If ne
is tempted to quote line or phrase
he looks it up in Bartlett, and II ne
finds it there he straightway discards
the quotation.
Mr.. Bodie has big willow chair with
cushions drawn up before the fire, and
he is enjoying a late winter afternoon
nap when the policeman (Our Police
mani enters unannounced and dis
turbs the artist with the play Of the
Aashlight on wall and pictures and
finally OIL Mr.. Bodies face. Had Our
Policeman intruded upon the premises
of Sir James on one of these winter
afternoons he would have found his
creator similarly scrudged up in a
easy chair, and,
much after the fashion of Mr.. Bodie'
instead Of jumping TO his feet on the
entrance of the officer, he would have
sunk still deeper into the chair, thereby
rufling up the hair on the back Of his
head. The only gesture Sir James
would make during the ensuing scene
would be to smooth down that rufled
hair again and again.
Sir James once made a solitary ad-
mission concerning his method OF
writing both plays and novels. lie
declared that the impulse to make
faces" with his characters, not AT
them, invariably proved irresistible.
at is my contemplate weakness he
is reported TO have said, that If !
say a character smiled vacuously !
must smile yscuously.'
If there is a slavey employed By the
housekeeper OF Adelphi Terrace
House, those who know the heart Of
James Matthew Barrie know also that
this Cinderella receives just such sym
pathetic, whimsical treatment as Mr..
Bodie aceords to his Cinderella in the
play. With this difference: That Bar

along with all its works in full view
Even at its best you can catch tick
or two However, there are amusing
scenes in the play. One Of these is
that between the cultured woman of
the East and the crude visitor from the
West. Quite possibly the good acting
Of Mrs. Jacques Martin and Miss Ethel
Winthrop helps to give life TO a by no
means novel combination.
Then there is a charming scene at
the end of the play between Shirley
Kaye and the strong man from the
West. Lee Baker is a first class con-
federate for Miss Ferguson here. Nat
urally the husky boy from across the
hills captures the heroine. They al

have, since Barrie settled there, been
occupied by Granville Barker and John
Galsworthy. Just across the street,
and on the same level with Barrie's
rooms, is the apartment Of George
Bernard Shaw.
Ii the first act of "A Kiss for Gin
derella" it is quite evident that, like
Sir James's own quarters, Mr.. Bodies
studio is on the top floor, for the large
window in the rear is partly in the
side wall and partly in the roof. In
his stage directions for this scene one
can almost imagine the playwright,
comfortably ensconced in his own easy
chair land sitting on one foot, as is
his habit, looking about him and de-
scribing his own surroundings. "All
studios are delightful places" he de-
clares, "Rnd Mr. Bodies is especially
cosey, even though II is only a little
bachelors room" Instead Of the easel,
which occupies the centre of the big
window recess in the play, there is
Barrie's desk.
A single picture is pinned above the
mantel in Mr.. Bodies studio-it is the
Mona Lisa. A single picture also
adorns the msntel shelf Of Sir James's
living room, according to the in
formsnt previously quoted, and that is
likeness of the dramatist's mother.
To the right of the mantel in the Bodie
studio is a tall shelf Of books, heavily
laden with we'll worn volumes. II Mr..

5000 FOOD DEALERS
IGNORE LICENSE ORDER
Hoover Warns That Firms Will
Be Blacklisted, Unless Amen

WARRINGTON. Nov. 7

WASHlNGTON, NOV. z.
More than $4,000 food handlers who come
under the license system inaugurated under
the proclamation of the President on No
vember have failed to apply to the food
administration for licenses and may soon
hnd themselves in trading difficulties.
Food Administrator Hoover today an
nounced that stern measures will be in-
voked against dealers who try TO evade the
license system. He issued warning to HIS
Held agents In all States that unless those
who are amenable to the provisions of the
food-control act file their applications at
once such concerns will be "blacklisted."
All State food administrators were re-
minded of the regulation which stipulates
that no licensee shall knowingly buy any
food commodities from or sell any such
commodities to, or handle any such COM
modities for any person required to have
license who has not secured such license
and complied with the publications of this
rule" Administrators were informed that
this rule will be rigidly enforced.
Fully $4,000 licenses have been sent to
dealers In all parts of the country, ac-
by rules and regulations. The
license division Is also sending out inventory
forms to all licensed dealers in foodstuffs
All licensees will be required to send full
reports TO Administrator Hoover, giving
complete details of the condition OF their
business on November /. These inventories
will be used in comparisons with later re-
ports to determine whether dealers are
foodstuffs or engaging in other
Illegal practices.
