The New York sun Of Saturday
says: at would seem to he only fair
to say that the startling exposure
which Mrs. Potter made on Tuesday
evening, on the occasion of The fist
performance of t.Cleopstra," was The
result OF Nervousness. The writer has
been requested to say this by a mem
Der OF the actress family. When she
placed the asp to her bosom, after the
historical precedent Of the real Geo.
patya, she pulled her gown open, but
the Intense nervousness and agitation
of the first performance in New York
together with the weight of Il great
production on her shoulders, had al
most unnerved the actress, AMI the
result formed the incident about
which New York has been chattering
for several days.
