days ago and the man of law applied
some of the most vituperative epithets

Later on the man Of law was standing in
the street, when the man of letters ap-
preached him in a white heat of passion
and exclaimed: Now, sir, repeat what

solicitor saw that two men in blue had
accompanied the excited editor and were

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
METROPOLITAN.

Comparatively unfamiliar to the ord1-
nary playgoer Shakespeare version OIL
Antony and Cleopatra is where so popu-
lar a favorite the late Fanny Daven-
port has made the Sardou drama Well
known. Helena Modjeska last night pre-
scented it to a fine audience in a manner
that, dramatically at least. depicted the
crowning beauty of Egypt In d guise not
so magnificent perhaps, but none the less
a beautiful and powerful revelation Of the
unique personality of the daughter of the
Fharaohs. Tickle, amorous, loyal, hate
full, but delightful. indeed, and artistic
always, was Modjeska's Cleopatra. Her
characterization IS not dependent alone
on physical charms. She is the Cleopatra
as Cleopatra was the actress. CeQuette.
OF adorer, from whichever side the regal
inamorata of Marc Antony Is viewed,
Modieska presented the queeniy charac
ter in a chameleon-fued likeness, iride
scent, evanescent, but always with some
charm for the victim of her w:les The
terrace scene was done without an ex-
cessive sacrifice of dignity, the welcome
to the body of Antony was powerful the
death scene was fiawless. In its represen-
tation of the death of a queen for the
resurrection of a love whose fire none
doubted.
Charles d. Hermann is a good Marc
Antony. He acts the part better than
he looks 1t and this is no small compn-
ment, for his physical qualifications are
not materially deficient. His voice is we'll
fitted to so robust a character, and he
portrayS the heroic side of the triumyir

Elasticity to the lover, twisted between

Lester Lonergan's OctaVius was ac-
eurate, but colorless. The role is less
well-adapted TO him than the Leicester in
which he made so favorable an impress
sion the night before.
Frank s. Fanning,s Lepidus was a
| careful, even, excellent bit of character
zation and worthy of place in scene
that was we'll enacted by the company,

Wadsworth Harris Pompey was the

no reason to be ashamed of him. His
| dramatic talent has been seen here hith-
erto only in monologue or the modest
recitations of the concert stage With
the dramatic setting of last night 1t was
displayed to far better advantage.
George Spencer as Eros was very
pleasing, and Frederick Vroom fulfilled
the requirements of the role Of Cleopa-

and not little ability.

There is pending in the senate a bill
that has some merits. The number of
those that have none is SO great that the
qualifying word is necessary. This one
takes cognizance of the fact that, out
of the necessities of business. there
developed a need for expert accountants.
The state years ago admitted this and
provided public examiner for fiduciary.
financial and state accounting officers.
The measure referred to proposes to pro-
vide for business interests accountants
who, like lawyers, doctors, dentists.
plumbers and bankers, shall have the
certification of the state as to their abtl-
1ty and integrity. A criticism to which
the measure is justly subject is the pro-
vision that after 1899 the examining
beard, until then to be formed from the
faculty of the state university shall be
composed of certified accountants. This
opens the door to a possible close cor
poration. Otherwise, as we say 1t has
some merits.
