How the French Dramatst's Work Dlii.rs from
Shsksspeare's 0iginal-An Outline Of The
Story as il is Produced on the Stage To
Day-SOme Big Innovations

BosroN. January 3l.-In an inter
view with Miss Fanny Davenport, who
is producing CLEOPATRA in this city,
she said to a reporter: "In what re-
spect docs the play of Sardou follow
Shakespeare" repeated Miss Davenport
to the question of her visitor, "Well,
you know that Shakespeare in his An
tony and Cleopatra, followed the story
Of history and tradition, and Sardou has
done the same, though selecting differ
ent episodes. All l can say in
answer to your question is that Sardou
has taken lines from Shakespeare, and
built upon them great and noble scenes
The only real incident that he has Dor
rowed from England'S great dramatiSt
is that Of the messenger scene, and that
he has so transformed that nobody but
a close student of Shakespeare would
ever suppose that it was not wholly
original with the French author. There
is very little real similarity between the
Cleopatra of Sardou and the Antony
of Cleopatra of Shakespeare, and what
little there is arises solely from the fact
that both dramatiStS are treating OF the
same subject, not because the French
writer has borrowed from his great En-
glish predecessor.
In Shakespeare, Antony and Cleo
patra open the first scene together, and
as it is played they both appear on Gle
Opatra'S barge. In Sardou'S play Gle
opatra comes to meet Antony in her
barge, with grandeur and display. She
has come TO treat for a conquered peO-
pie. She feels confident that she car
conquer the all-powerful Antony, and
he is equally confident that he is proof
against all her charms. After Cleopatra
appears, radiant in her beauty, there is
q beautiful scene between her and An
tony. Inch by inch the strong warrior
yields to her charms, until he is ready
to follow her anywhere and da her bid
ding, at whatever cost to MS honor or
his fame. With this thu first act ends.
at is supposed to be the first meeting
between Antony and Cleopatra at Tar
suS, on the banks of the CydnuS, before
the tribunal OF the Roman conqueror.
II is a scene Of delightful comedy
throughout, and wholly Sardou'S. In
ShakeSpeare'S play the two are sup
posed to have met and become fasci-
mated with each other before the first
scene opens. Sardou pictures the first
meeting, and shows in Il beautiful scene
the way in which Egypt'S Queen wove
her first web of love around the heart
Of the susceptible Antony. The scene
Of the second act is the

TEMPLE OF KARNAC.

A fete is in progress, and everybody is
carouSing. Antony'S soldiers are AT the
tables with Cleopatra's women, and the
scene is one of life and animation. In
this act the love of Antony and Cleo
patra is developed. In this act, too,
Cleopatra gives recitation which has a
historical interest beyond its value as
an incident of the play. SardOu, in his
researches, has discovered that the
story oof Cinderella is of Egyptian
origin. and he embodicS this discovery
in the recitation of Cleopatra. II is
very pretty conceit. Sardou's
Cleopatra and ShakcSpcare'S are
two very different women, with
very little in common, except what be-
longs TO them as historical perSOnageS
Their development as dramatic crea-
tionS is very different under the treat
ment of the two masters To return TO
the story, ia the midst Of the fete the
festivities are interrupted by the en-
trance Of friends OF Antony, who comes
20 announce to him the death Of his
wife, Fulyia. Then follows a scene
showing the influence of Cleopatra over
Antony. She wants him to 20 at once
10 Rome and save the city from its enc
mics. and during the scene She shows
concluSively that she can WELD the war
rior to suit her own will. Antony deter
mines TO leave for Rome at once. and

THE DIRECTORS RETURN.
The Los Angeles Race Track Com
pares Well With Others.

L. Lichtenberger, J. C. Newton and
r. R. Brown, directors OF the Sixth Dis
trict Agricultural association, have re-
turned from their tour of inspection OF
the northern tracks. During their alb
sence they visited Fresno, Stockton,
Sacramento, San Francisco and San
Jose. They inspected the tracks and
grand stands at all these places and se-
cured data for the benefit of the local
association, as it is proposed to make
number of needed Improvements at
Agricultural park, one of which will be
the erection of a new grand stand to ac-
commodate at least 1000 people.
Mr., Lichtenberger, in conversation
with HERALD reporter, stated
that the Los Angeles track
compared most favorably with
any of the northern tracks, and
with the exception of Sacramento, the
facilities for reaching the track were
equal, if not better, than any other city.
Fresno and Stockton had the best grand
stands. The kite-shaped track did not
meet with the approval of the gentlemen
from the land of orange groves. The
horses are either going away or coming
from the spectator, and in consequence
it is difficult matter to tell which horse
is ahead. The directors think that with
the contemplated Improvements this
city will have the fastest elliptical track
in the country. The visiting directors
also learned that the business men in
the northern cities help along the local
associations more than they do in Los
Angeles, yet Notwithstanding this most
of the associations find it difficult mat
ter to keep out of debt. In fact, the Los
Angeles association is the most prosper.
