Greta Nissen is the foreign lady; Bessie Love, the American. "Kiss for Cinderella, A" — Paramount. A delicate and humorous, though somewhat too lengthy, transition to the screen of Barrie's delightful tale of starved London waif whose vivid imagination finds expression in her fantastic dreams. Betty Bronson very engaging as Cinderella; Tom Moore a delight as London bobby. "Lady Windermere's Fan" — Warner. Oscar Wilde's story of a mother of doubtful reputation who sacrifices last chance of respectability to save daughter from same mistake. Well done. May McAvoy in title role ; Irene Rich, as mother, does best work of career; Ronald Colman and Bert Lytell in cast. "Let's Get Married" — Paramount.
