with q good deal Of pleasure. In all
OF his plays Mr.. Barrie has been
whimsical, fantastical and quaint. He
has been humorous and he loves to
take sly, unexpected dig at ones
emotions. In his new play he Is ey-

that It Is a compound Of laughter and
unshed tears. The heroine is a little
London slavey of so imaginative 4
mind that she IL called Cinderella.
Half starved and exhausted she falls
asleep outside her little shop one night
and In her fevered dreams there comes
the fairy godmother to grant her
three wishes-the ball. to help nurse
the wounded and to marry the man
of her choice. The scene that follows
the Installation of the dream ball
/ Is one of the most imaginatively hu-
| nlorous conceits that has ever been
staged. The ball is not as halls really
are. but as they are conceived to be
in the little chamber Of Cinderella's
head. The king and queen are as
they are pictured in an old deck of
playing cards and the Ice cream IS
served from a golden hokay-pokey
push cart. The music Is that Of the
hurdy-gurdy. When Cinderella awakcs
she Is in a hospital and there Mr.
Barrie, in one of the sweetest scenes
ne has written, brings the play TO
an end. The work is staged in most
artistic fashion. the setting Of the
dream ball scene being an adaptation
of painting by Mr.. MARKELL Parrish.
