It is rarely that we are given a prettier love scene than that played by Cinderella and her policeman. Norman Trevor is the policeman and he gives capital performance. For the rest, the players are all worthy of the play, and that la saying much. ACT AND FANCY COMBINE War Element Enters ' Current Of fering at Heillg and Pretty Love Scene Will Be ' Remembered.

Maude Adams has brought us her latest Barrio play, not a "Legend of Lienors," nor a "What Every Woman Knows, nor another "Peter Pan," but a rare, fine blend having a wee bit of each of these, for "A Kiss for Cinde rella" Is undeniably Barrio in a mood of in Unite charm and whimsy and delicate kindly humor. Only Barrie could, have planned and given to us such a delectable, wholly delightful combining; of fact and fan tasy, such a commingling of the real world and dreamland). and no one other than Maude Adams could have interpre ted it all for us. An evening of ex quisite bliss Is In etore for those who visit the Helllg this week. Barrie Ever Subtle. Folk who profess to find Barrie elu sive 'always, will find elusive the mean ing of "A Kiss for Cinderella," and It is all of that in the sense that thoughts are elusive when trembling on the bor der 'edge of slumber. One finds It next to Impossible to treat In concrete terms the fleeting, half-realized longings which, by rea son of their very nature, defy analysis and droop in the presence of a formid able array of matter-of-fact reality. Might as well try to dissect and cata logue a baby's smile, a butterfly's flight or the call of a bird. Barrie is our dramatist of dreams. He Is our reporter of spiritual striv ings in a material world, and our con stant wonder is that he continues to succeed In being at once so amazingly spiritual and so fascinatingly physical and human. It is not easy to tell the story of A Jxlss lor Cinderella," for it Is not the sort of story that can be sketched briefly without leaving out pretty nearly everything that makes for the rare substance of thought and fine sen timent and the exquisite vagaries of fancy. Valf Start Aid Society. The story tells of Miss Thing, a waif. who sweetens her thoughts by imag ining she is Cinderella and gilds her Had little existence by opening a help society, the proceeds of which she ap plies toward keeping four little refu gees rendered homeless by the war. Nho is "temporary help" In a set of studios, and In her evenings acts as counseling physician, dressmaker and laundress to the poor folk in her wretched neighborhood, charging penny for each consultation. Cinderella has dwelt so long on the fairy story that she actually believes she is Cinderella and more than half believes that a royal footman will ap pear one day with an "invite to ball,, at which she will conquer the heart of Prince Hard-to-Please. Cinderella's Dreams Come True. The dream comes true in an exquisite hit of fantasy. Cinderella, waiting in her doorway for her "invite," sinks into the enow from exhaustion and realizes in a fever dream all the ambitions and vanities of her starved little childish heart. The Prince of her vision wears the features of the sturdy English po 1 iceman, whom she secretly adores, and who has been threading her life's walk ever since be suspected her of being unduly curious about Uermany. (Cm cierella's guilty secret was that one of her four refugees was a sad little Ger man, "orphan t" whom no one else would rholter.) It is not a purely humorous dream ball , where Cinderella meets her fairy Prince, but a profound and poetic piece or child psychology. The King and Queen and the two wicked sisters and the Bishop who weds "swagger couples," the bored Prince being urged by his royal if cockney parents to choose a bride, and the haughty contestants and the Prince's capitulation at Cinderella's dainty feet with the bridal pair dancing to hurdy-gurdy strains all of it comes true for Cinderella. She awakens, months later, after a field will be nominated. People who peolalize in sensing public sentiment gree that Stanfield will not only rarry Multnomah County, but also the state by a large lead. The reasons are ap parent. The Stanfield campaign has been conducted along clean lines, care fully refraining from dirty politics; there is a growing conviction that it Is about time to send a business man to Washington instead of lawyers, and the resentment which Republicans have at Mil West's attempt to dictate in the Republican primaries. McNary's headquarters Reports from every county in Oregon indicate hat Senator McNary will be nominated by a gratifying majority. The Sen ator's record of efficiency during his first year in office, conpled with the fact that the country is at wan, has created a strong sentiment in favor of is retention in the Senatorship. This sentiment has increased as the cam paign progressed, and will result In his nomination tomorrow ana ra his elec tion in November.

A T I I Sixtus, of Bourbon, recently made pub lic by the President of the French republic, declared that no effort at conversations has ever been made by the central powers in the Interest of a fair and honorable peace, and he added: 'If any representative of any belli gerent country desires seriously to lay before us any proposals we are ready to listen to them."

Did the Prime Minister Inform the Foreign Office at the time of the fact that the communication had been shown to him? Why were the nego tiations dropped? Was It on purely territorial grounds: was it because a demand was made by France not only for Alsace-Lorraine, but for the 1814 line, or even the 17S0 line? Mr, Balfour explained that he had no secrets from President Wilson. He was In America at the time and had not gone very thoroughly Into the matter. The letter, however, had been convoyed by Prince Bixtus to President Poincare and the French Premier under eal of the strictest secrecy. Letter Withheld From Wilaoa. Only the British sovereign and Pre mier were to see it. Therefore it was not communicated to the President of the United States, and the American Government was no better informed of the facts regarding the letter than he was himself. AMSTERDAM. May IS.
