the general interest. The scenery Is ex-
ecuted with great artistic skill and man
ipulated with much adroitness. When the
curtain goes up on the first act an ex-
quisite picture is presented. In the dis
lance is seen the sphinx and the pyra-
mids, in the foreground Alexandria and
the obelisk. The room is decorated for the
reception of the queen. What takes places
is almost as important as that which IS
spoken. The entire play is introduced with
pictures depicting the story. C~leopatra's
arrival In her barge Is an exquisite scene
as we'll as a perfect piece of mechanism.
The Egyptian ballet and Cleopatra's love
dance follow. The latter is sensuous,
graceful, beautiful. The costumes employ
ed throughout are gorgeous in design and
historically accurate. Miss Lewis royal
robe is gaudiiy beautiful enough to have
awakened the envy Of the queen whom
she impersonates.

Victorien Sardou Is credited with the
record theatrical cablegran. By way of
making assurance doubly sure, he always,
it is said, has a copyright performance or
publication of his drama IN Paris and the
United tSates simultaneously. but In the
case of his last pay II was discovered that
he had postponed the preparations for this
ceremony too long-there was no time To
send the book TO America before the ap-
pearance Of the drama- But a little thing
like that did no stand in the way. NJ.
Sardou cabled the entire piece TO New

averaged about Zoo a week ever since. his
money was very possibly well laid out.
