"CINDERELLA" OFFERED
BY CHILDREN'S THEATER
Juvenile Audience Is Stirred by
Story Of the Kitchen Maid
and the Prince.

ELABORATION of one of the pri-
- mary thoughts of humanity is
made possible in the development of
Cinderella" as a play with the pro-
duction given at the National Theater
yesterday by the New York Childrens
Theater Under the expert manage
the girl whose fairy godmother saved
her from disagreeable enslavement to
her merciless stepsisters and step
mother aroused the enthusiasm of a
large audience of children.
One Of the first elements of the pSy-
chology of the stage makes a strong
appeal in this play-the fact that the
enjoyment experienced by an audience
is intensified by familiarity with the
subject. This is true of music, humor
ana romance, and any one who doubted
the strength of tradition might have
been convinced by attending the per-
formance given yesterday. The house
was crowded, and the fortunes of the
well-to-do girl who had been banished
to the kitchen were followed with in
tense interest by the very young the
ater-goers, some OF whom were accom-
panied by parents and grandparents.
It probably was the most popular of

company which has been admired IN

of juvenile fiction 1t was very well
satisfied representation OF Washington
childhood that emerged at the close Of
the performance.
cinderella" has one strong element
of popularity in the dominant feature
of distress, which is finally relieved
when the prince, through the medium
Of the slipper, is able to bring to the
highest point Of glory the very good
child who has not failed in useful serv-
ice to the persons who have been re-
Sponsible for her unhappiness. In the
outcome her spirit OF mercy toward her
enemies also met with approval. The
play, like adult melodrama, reserves
for the climax the relief from all kinds
of diSagreeable things, while the audi
ence is buoyed with the hope Of bet
ter fortune.
Gene Magnus in the title role adds
to her credit nice piece of dramatic
work which arouSeS the imagination,
while Townsend Muddell as the prince
is an outstanding personality of attrac-
tive spirit. The two stepSisterS are well
done by Madeleine Fales and June
White. Dorothy Major as the god
mother acts in an authoritative man
ner which catches the spirit. Numer-

In q letter to the President, Mrs.

efficient handling of a transport plane
through storm conditions and unfavor-
able flying weather is further demon
stration that aviation is one Of human

"On behalf of every mother in the
United States I appeal to you to recon-
mend such official action as the Gov

nizing the great service which Pilot

Commissioner Hazen today asked
Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer
to make study of plan for abolition
OF parking of cars along F and G streets

Hazen asked the study after he had
gained an unfavorable impression of an
earlier proposal for conversion of F and
G streets in the downtown section into
one-way traffic carriers. The Commits
sioner indicated he did not believe that
plan would meet with public approval
and pointed out that it would call for

Mr.. Barrymore is smooth and intel
ngent in his reading OF the Rice lines,
playing the Paul MUM role with SYM
pathy and understanding. Although it
Is hard to believe that he. as the sharp
lawyer whose success is a miracle, once
rose from tenement environments, and
that he formally had a shirt which was
not starched up to the neck, he grad
ually creates that illusionment of
despair about the central character
which Mum traced so effectively, and
by the final curtain you are convinced
that anything might have happened to
him, and that he might have sprung
from anywhere
Mr.. Rice's play, which has been
carbon copied for the screen, and is
quite as interesting as it was in the
original. Is considered as fine a script
as you are likely to come across. 1t
3oggles small problems with the very
large, unravels situations which are in
the minds Of a very great public.
George Simon, having risen from
powhere, bewilderingly successful as a
lawyer who can shake off a mans
death sentence as he might loosened
shackles, and who has made the mistake
Of marrying an ambitious Park avenue
nitwit, finds himself suddenly without
honor in his Office and without honor
at home, being threatened with disbar-
ment and with a wife whom he loves,
loving some one else.
Tumbled from the heights to what
he considers the meanest depths, he is
about to step quietly out of his Office
window and "end it ALL when his sec
retary (Bebe Daniels, who has been in
love with him all these years with that
quiet despair which apparently only
secretary knows, comes into the room,
and screaming with all her might, saves
the man she loves from horrid death.
With that, almost instantaneously. the
world bobs up freshly for Mr.. Simon,
since not only does he suddenly realize
that he reciprocates his secretary's af-
fection. but when a telephone call sum-
mons him to duty, he is ready once
more to take up his ak and plunge into
that lawyers forest, out of which he only
recently escaped
All of this Mr.. Rice has bound to-
gether with those small fragments of
humor and character study-the tele-
phone girl however, we have always
thought too obvious to be the comedy
relief she should be-which makes a
good play even better than that. While
