One does not flatter puppets, as it would do them' no harm or good, but those who pulled the strings of the allegorical marionette scene which precedes the drama have exceedingly funny fingers. Mrs. Fiske made anything but a customary curtain speech after the second act, in which she admitted to age and a certain inclination to avoid hard work.

In that way she I AHMMAM tV.fr 1 a fA.fr- millions which grow in the big business of the est. And he has come back to be a bit of a belated father, a good deal of a self-conscious provider and a great lot of a boaster. And what he finds has grown np in his absence is a level-headed unworldly wise batch of childish, a mature, delightful, keen matron and an atmosphere of home into which his office bluster will not fit. And to make his happy home even less roomy for his magnificence there are crowded into it, when be arrives, a wandering poet who pits his tender romance against the business man's tough facts and a waif who opposes a sweet innocence against his sour knowledge. And, to make a fairy tale, the weaker forces win not without the aid of Mrs.

Kchabie Mrs. Wyndliara. Kmmctt By McELLIOTT. "Paying tlie Piper seems to me a typical Iuida Bergere picture harping on the foibles and frailties of the upper classes; pointing a moral little vaguely) bere and there; and focusing not a little determinedly on the house and gar-dens of the Wyndhams, the stables of the Wyndhams, and the pretty vices of the heiress of the Wynd-lams. Which young person is played by Dorothy Dickson, who smokes cigarettes, has "a silver fizz'' before breakfast, and all that sort of thing.

By this you may know she's a demon debutante the kind that, at gay party at home, suddenly turns restless and shrieks "I'm tired cf all this. Let's do the town!" Thereupon the giddy throng (in-eluding young Mr. Hod La Rocque, tvhose work seems cut out for him for y'ars to come playing a fascinating ne'er do well) starts out for the slums and a large evening. That, you see, the sort of thing Cie Rivoli movie i3. In the yarn, SJr.

La Rocqce is engaged to Miss XHckson, who doesn't take an engagement to seriously and plays around with. Mr. Reginald Denny's erious young architect. Mr. La Kocque, in the jneantime, is being attentive to a full-blown roof-ehow rose, Miss Alma Tell so you can see there's a square, instead of the usual triangle.

I do wish I could shake off unhappy memories' of "The Fall and -Rise of Susan Lenox" when I see Miss Tell but 1 can't The bad plays young women appear in live after thejn, I'm afraid Anyhow, "Paying the Piper is beautifully set. done with a "spare no expense" air and you may like it.

SACRIFICE Casts Pride to the Winds for Sake of Art ITS A REPUTATION not to be sniffed at that of "knowing how to wear and it's one borne by Grace La Rue, who sacrifices her prido for her art in "Dear Me." In that comedy, at the Republic Theatre, she is garbed in the sackcloth and ashes of the "slavey." How-' ever, the last act is kind to her in the way of fashion opportunities BROOKLYN Motion Picture Thmotrm LIONEL WTVyC XII IOARRYMOR i DEVIL 'WO'" 'J I Dancer Plays Debutante Heroine in Film AND HERE WE have Dorothy Dickson, famed as a dancer, now doing "the pretty" by the debutante heroine of "Paying the Piper," a movie drama.

J. It's Just a bit amusing to note that the new Chaplin picture, "The Kid," is to be shown for the first time (shades of all the highbrows!) at Carnegie Hall.

This rather portentous event is to take place on Friday evening, the occasion being a benefit for the chil dren's committee of the National Board of Review of Motion Pic tures. House Peters is to have the most important role in "The Alibi" with Irene Rich as his charming (no doubt) vis-a-vis. Wallace Reid's latest warning is "Watch My Smoke." At least, that's the title of his forthcoming film. Must be another "eat tip the road" story, don't you think? AMUSEMENTS Motion Pictxtro Theatre PBITTDinM Broadway at 44th st IK! IE. HI UP! Toot.

Poor Jonathan, in the new play at the Henry Miller Theatre, finds no one in the cast whom he can hit back. He may be all of the foolish bully that Mrs. Fiske, for one, with her dissecting wit and big, wise eyes, says he is.

But, aa the evening of good fun at Jonathan's expense wore on, you came to have a secret sympathy for the derided Napoleon of finance for whom "Wake Up, Jonathan" is named, and you wished urgently that the relentless wife, played relentlessly by Mrs. Fiske, would either relent or give the coop de grace. Mrs. Fiske, as Marion Blake, has a role that is all sport for her tried comedienneship. The sport is a manner of verbal archery.

Authors Hatcher Hughes and Elmer L. Rice, the hero and target of which is your great big blustering boastful business baron, the backbone of the nation's stability, sir. You have heard him deliver himself of his conceit at railroad banquets and in the signed interviews of advice to young men in the magazines. And you have been pos sessed of such a desire to mock and bully him as animates Messrs. Hughes and Rice in their three acts and a prologue of comfortably low wit.

And for an act and a half you will cheer Mrs. Fiske and her confederates on as they harry Jonathan Blake. He left his wife and family for AMUSEMENTS Motion Pietmo Thoatrom j-uxnjnirni 44TH ST. THEATRE Evening, t.li. Jfatlne, t.li.

For the play could not have been played without Mrs. Fisk Unaided by the unobtrusive mastery ofhe lady's comedy we fear it had seemed unbelievable. It is. too good to be absolutely true that a lady and four nice children can lick a big bank president simply by saying bright things at him. But when Mrs.

Fiske says brirht things they are sharp things, and it was perfectly plausible at the end that Jonathan cried for mercy from the pricking. Charles Dalton plays Jonathan with caricature-like breadth. Some thousands of millionaires are admirably libelled by him. Howard Lang is good as tho dreamy rxiet end not at all cloying, however sweetened at times his lines.
