Adhering to Shakespeare.

CLARA Belle. he well known New
York correspondent of the lnlianapo-
lis Journal, Describes n scene in "a re-
cent dramatic event a. follows: Mrs.
Potter has loneit it again. What Why.
shocked hat high stratum of socIet Y
which she scandaized originally by
going on the stage at all Her appear
ance his week as the dangerously low
ing Cleopatra has already reached my
readers in descriptive print, but not
with full Justice 10 her liimy skirts wit
their revelations ri pink tights. or her
realism in the suicide scene. Of the
former II Is. perhaps, enough to write
that no ballet Girl or burlesquer IN
tights ever made a more alluri,o or
artful display. There wa> no novelty
IN that-except IN seeing 1t done by "a
former darling OF "our best society"
But II was when Cleopatra killed her
sell with the poisonous asp that the
new exploit came. Mrs. Potter tore
her already low corsage open with an
imitation OF rccklessness, to place the
reptile where it could do the most
harm. 1t was here that Shakespeare 5
text and the usages OF civilized modern
society were opposed to each other,
and Mrs. Potter frankly gave her ad-
herence to Shakespeare. Anything like
her achievement in realism has not
been seen, so far as this writer remem-
bers. II was IA fair acquaintance of
Mrs. Potters who sat in one OF the
boxes on the first night, and who bore
the unexpected exhibition with we'll
bred calm; but this is what she re-
marked To n companion: "Well, il they
hold an autopsy upon the remains OF
Cleopatra, should say they'd find
that the poisonous bite caused peri
