Polls.

Stolen sweets are all that the adage
implies. The Kiss Burglar" proved it
at Polls last night before an audience
that greeted each burgie with laugh
ter and applause.
1t must have been their knowledge
of the price value that human nature
sets on kiss that inspired Glen Mac
Donough and Raymond Hubbel to put
into song and dance one of the most
captivating musical comedies seen at
Polls since--but why specialize.
The plot means a whirl of effer-
Yescing adventures that circle around
a lovely young duchess who has
sought refuge in America with her
suite. Before leaving her war-riddled
kingdom. young American, pursued
by gamblers whom he had accused of
cheating. escapes by jumping through
window that opens on a garden and
into the apartment of the duchess
who begs him TO take her jewels and
go. He obliges. but takes kiss be-
fore jumping back TO where he came
from.
The first act fnds the hero confding
his adventure to one Tommy Dodd, So
| cial secretary. who decides that the
/ incident might he re-enacted at the
! home of his employers in New York,
where the ducheSS iS a guest, Tor the

nonsense, which includes travesties

papdemonium of hiiarity, due TO the

\ would call depths of melody, the

swing. Oliver Smith and Louise Mink

ADJUSTMENTS
Cyril Maude.

| In very transformations and sin
cere way Cyril Maude offered an ex
traordinary bit of entertainment at
the New National last night. The
Saving Grace" is a compact but by no
means superficial study of humanity.
| In drawing his characters the author,
Haddon Chambers, has not resorted to
any tricks of physical exaggeration.
Neither has he in devising situa tions
distorted probability in order to at
tain a punch. The story is an even
flow of circumstances among people
whose refined placidity is such that
crime and calumny are not necessary
to create some serious emotional agi-
tation. The story is that of two
young people whose parents arrive at
misunderstanding quite naturally,
owing to stubborn pride, and who
arrive at an understanding, no less
naturally, when events make the alb
surdity of stubbornness and pride
perfectly plain to all concerned. 1t
is not the story that the audience
cares about; it is the opportunity of
meeting the people whom Mr.. Maude
described in his curtain speech as
my family and the two visitors" OF
the family Blinn Corbett is the head.
1t is the star part. Mr.. Maude makes
ii SO. In less competent hands il
might easily sink into what is tech
nically known as character bit.
Corbett is a gentleman and soldier,
a little discouraged about money, yet
keeping up appearances by sheer
grace of personality. He is shade
stupid perhaps; and then, again, per-
haps he is not so stupid as he is polite
in his entire aloofness from the dis
courtesies which in the normal course
of events intrude upon his poverty.
His wife, played by Laura Hone
Crews, is well worth knowing; a de-
voted wife. charming in her sympa-
thetic knowledge of youth and free
from all affectations of worldly smart
ness. Mrs. Guildford Charlotte Gram
WILEY is the naughty mother whose
hayward son has fallen in love and
out again so often that she distrusts
the sincerity of his present attach
ment to the pretty and clever niece of
the Corbetts. She is very snobbish
and disagreeabie at first, but even
tually meits and apologies with con-
siderable dignity. The niece is played
well by Betty Murray. In fact. every
member of the interesting, lifelike
group is finely represented, including
The butler by Stanley Harrison and
the maid by Annie Hughes.
Here is suggestion which the
reader who intends to see the play
should not overlook: Do not forget
to call on Mr.. Maude for a speech at
the close of the second act; the same
speech he made last night If he can
remember 1t. and he probably can. 1t
was delightful mingling of grave
and gray; quietly confidential in tone,
yet entertaining and warm with the
spirit of genuine human fellowship.
The auditors liked the speech almost
as well as they liked the play; and
that is saying great deal.
