From the Bozeman Chronicle
The play Cleopatra was at the opera
house on Friday night. 1t met with an en-
thusiastic reception and the manager feels
much encouraged. He will probably try it
on New York city, since it has been re-
ceived here. There was a noticeable lack
of talking and joysome laughter at the
most impressive moments. There was also
a large lack of infants in arms. 1t is be-
coming apparent that fond fathers and
mothers have about concluded that their
mothers do not fully appreciate high-class
drama. The wailfof a nursing child just
at the time everyone is Waiting with bated
breath to catch the passionate words OF
the tragedian, is not calculated to lend a
charm to the play, and perhaps it may
now become fashionable to leave infants
at home.
If so, Bozeman will have made another
step upward and onward, and will have
proud of. The house was plenty large
enough to hold all who were there This
was due to the fact that a great many
