EMPIRE !
Kiss for Cinderella Is
Second Of Annual Holi-
day Productions.

Il uay look little incongruous to
see a Prince of Hearts all dolled up
in his princely robes blowing traffic
officers whistle-but anything goes
in 4 dream. And the little waif In "A
Kiss for Cinderella" at the Empire
this week has the most gorgeous drea"
, girl ever had. She recreates her idea
Of that Cinderella affair with the
Young prince, and to say that Director
Hsrbert Brennon used Paramounts
money lavishly in staging the gorgeous
scenes, is putting it mildly: Tom
Moore plays the prince, and Betty
Bronson of "Peter Pan" fame plays
the princess.
"a Kiss for Cinderella" is the sec

duced by Paramount. 1t is being shown
simultaneously in every important city

PoMPTON LAKES, N. J.. May
Explorer, the collie hero Of
many dog stories written by his
owner, Albert Payson Terhune, has
been found after being lost since
Thursday, Mr.. Terhune announced.
Explorer walked away from the
kennels OF Miss Genievieve Toory
at Mt Kisco. N. Y, when his
kennel door was opened. Tarry-
town, N. Y, police reported yes
terdaySa collie answering, that de-
scription had been there and the
well.known author Of dog stories
declared his belief that his favorite
was being led homeward by in
stinct. Mr.. Terhune went to Tarry-
town and Mt. Kisco but did not
find his dog, for whom he had Of
fered a reward.
Mr.. Terhune said Miss Toory
had telephoned that Explorer was
found at the kennel gate and now
was safely in custody. He added
that he believed the dog picked up
his masters scent in Tarrytown
and followed it back to Mt. Kisco

And the dramatic stage is

Pm not mistaken, you called it
pretty punk. Now that show
played a year in New York,

By this time, the genial Wis

the hapless victim of his perse-
cution gets a word in edgewise,
something like this:

"As forerunners Of this pro-

One of Wanda Lyons chiefest
concerns this season has been
the task of educating the pub
lie to believe that "Close Har-
mony" is a good show The
piece, originally styled "The Girl
Next Door," is by Dorothy Par
ker and Elme1' Rice and excep-
tionally agreeable criticisms
were meted out to it. However,
it faded and died like the rose
one is always hearing raspy
tenors chant about. Then it
was revived amidst idealistic
hopes that, in a newer milieu
and differently titled, it might
catch on. The venture exploded,
but it taught no lesson to it's
producers who are making a
third attempt to force it down
the public's composite throat by
opening it in Chicago. Miss
Lyon appears again, with James
Spottiswood, in the principal
role. The tenacious faith of it's
producers is equalled only by
a similar virtue in the makeup
of Brock Pemberton who gave
three productions to "The Mari
onette" man before taking a
hint from the public that it
wanted no part of it at any
time.
Show styles in Paris are keep
ing pace with those in America.
First, the revue in Paris is rum
ming wildly to an excess of
nudity and at the same time
dying a hard death. Musical
comedy, boasting more than
just a few startling dancers, is
crowding the spectacles to the
wall. In one week, such COM
posers of intimate music shows
as christine" Maurice Yvain,
Henri Hirschmann and Henri
Bereny, have all launched dainty
little comedy vignettes with
music, revolving in gaiety and
charm on real "plots."
Then, American ways are in
vading the French fashion
