-MAIDE ADAMS

The considerable interest that * be-
ing taken in the appearance of Maude
Adams at the Academy Friday and
Saturday and Saturday matinee seems
only natural for no one needs be told
that the little actress Ia wouderfully
popular with all classes Of theatergo-
ers- Each season hnds her following
larger than it was the season proceed
ing and while some may ascribe this
to her personality. her charm her
magnetism. or her art. u iS not 10 he
forgotten that the little lady always
gives the public the very hest to be
had and that in the very best manner.
Miss Adams is happy in the posses
sion OF another OF Mr., Barrie's pla VS.
this season. 1t Is "A Kiss For Cinde-
rella' and IL is credited with being
one of the most fanciful and exquisite
works in which she has ever appeared.
This is the play in which she Is TO be
seen here and the sale OF seats for
the presentation is to open this morn
ing
The heroine of the play is a lovable
little waif, who. like Peter Pan
brings one back to youth Mr.. Barrie
never breaches, never scoids and never
handles sordid problems. One thing
he does In his new play is to show
that no matter how poor one may be
regarding the goods Of the world he is
rich II he possesses healthy imag ina :
ton. His little heroine is OF the class
that has to imagine itg happiness or
go without and she is the soul of cheer
fulness. "A Kiss For Cinderella"
arouses the intellect and clutches at
the emotions. The scenes are distri-
buted throughout three acts, The big
scene is. of course. the one in which
the little girls dream of the grand
ball is shown The comedy has been
staged with great care and there will
be found. so it promises. much to ad-
mtre in the play itself the manner Of
it's staging and in the work of the ac-
tors surrounding Miss Adams
