Italy is thinking of reducing the
cost of her universities by suppressing
the smaller ones. The cost of each
student to the state, after deducting
the fees they pay, is as follows in the
different universities: Naples, $40; Tu-
rim, 500; Bologna, S92; Pavia, S94; Pal
ermo, SlO2; Genoa, S1O3; Padua, $40;
Catania, 1923; Rome, $40; Modena,
S2O4; Messina, S2O6; Pisa, SOS; Sassari,
5000; Parma, seq; Cagliari, $500; Siena,
S272. Naples has. 5000 students and
Siena less than 200. There is much
local opposition to the reduction, but
it is difficult to defend the existence of
separate universities at places as near
to each other as are Messina and Ca
tania, Pisa and Siena, Parma, Modena
and Bologna, or the two universities
for the island of Sardinia.

INTERVIEW WITH MRS. POTTER
She Tells How VictOrien SardOu Came OF
Suggest That She Appear In the Char
acter Of Charlotte Corday-Her
Conception of the Role.

Mrs. Cora Urquhart Potter, who ap-
peared at the Academy of Music Tues
day night as Charlotte Corday, pos
sesses an interesting personality. She
is striving hard to be a great actress
and though she lacks the fire and in
spiration that genius imparts, she is
destined within few years to occupy
a commanding place among the act
resses of the country. She is persistent
in her efforts to master her art and
has the advantage of the guidance and
instruction of Kyrle Bellew, her star
ring partner, who occupies position
many rungs higher on the dramatic
la oder than Mrs. Potter.
Whatever may be said about Mr..
Bellows qualities as man his ability
as an actor can not with justice be
questioned. His work shows finish and
Thoughtful consideration of the charac-
ter he impersonates. He does not over
do a scene or tear a passion to tatters
to win applause from the gallery. His
aim is to make his acting art, not sim
ply work.
Mrs. Potter Is fair and girrish to n
wonderful degree considering the fierce
onslaughts that have been made on her
from all quarters. Her face, eyes or
manner give no evidence of care or
worry or that for ten years she has
lived in the strong lime light of pub
licity. But for a few threads of gray
which appear in the mass of nut
brown hair that falls in graceful, nat
ural waves over her low, broad brow
one might imagine he was conversing
with a maiden standing in the charmed
valley where girlhood and womanhood
meet. During a chat with the writer
Tuesday night Mrs. Potter said:

cation. My private life | believe be-

"Yes, l like the role of Charlotte
