PALACE THEATRE
-A KISS FOR CINDERELLA.” "A Kiss for Cinderella,” the new Paramount picture, will commence at co-day's matineo at the Palace; As is well-known the story is by Sir James Al. Barrie. The play has lost none of its delicate flavor by its transition to the screen, and, in its finished photoplay form, stands out a- a delightful modern romance, beautifully staged and directed by-Her-bert Brenon and charmingly enacteu by a superlative east, headed by Betty Bronson. Tom Aloore and Esther Ralston, ’me central character is an imaginative little London waif, who has so hypnotised herself with a book of fairy tales, that she believes she R Cinderella and confidently looks forward to the day when her fairy godmother will take her to the ball, where the Prince will' choose her for his bride. How her dreams of love lead to a real-life romance with a policeman is the surprising denouement of the plot. The magnificent dream ball, introduced to show the workings of the little slavey s mind, is a novel combination of gorgeous fantasy ana glorified reality. Betty Bronson handles the role *of Cinderella with a sk-ll that gains the sympathy of the audienc-e. Tom Aloore is a splendid hero-policeman, and Esther Ralston is a .lovely ip fry godmother.
