it into Broadway, young Deborah s
false promise of a baby, and old ST.

joke that was all the funnier for being
intimate and obstetric. That foreboded
the fiasco of an emotionally planned
drama. It's authors, Claude AskeW and
Edward KnOblauch. would have beer
depressed If present. But the first
Gotham audience would have uplifted
them, for, while it was not rapturous
over the plays oddly, there was nc
disposition toward levity. Deborah's
false promise of progeny is the pivotal
point in a plot SO melodramatic that II
contains Dom Simeon's attempt TO in
f1ict death penalty when he learns
that she has lied, and the killing of him
can complain of conventionality In this
play.
There is so much singularity in "Cae-
Sar and Cleopatra" that Forbes Rob-
ertson dared not produce it in London,
where its author, George Bernard
Shaw, is not tolerated even as a joke,
but waited to venture it IN New York,
where Shawism is enjoyed as a serio-
comicality. In this whimsical play
Julius Caesar at 80 goes to Egypt to see
Cleopatra at is, TO sit with her on the
feet Of the Sphinx, and discuss topics
of modern interest in a modern man.

so Shaw maintains-and didn't talk i'm

so he puts colloquial English into their
mouths as equivalent to their habitual
diction, thus assuming to give "A. d.

Shaw has said that he is a better dra-

well put aside the Shakeapearean met

repertoire of classical plays to use in
stead.
Shaw wrote with Forbes Robertson S
Caesarian profile in mind, it is said,
and he may have bethought him. also,
of RObertSon'S supremacy among stage
elocutionsists. Shaw's wit is all pShaW

Cleopatra" was published in 1900, and
Robertson, after trying it in Glasgow,
let 1t wait until American money was
ready TO be risked i'm a costly produc-
ton. And it is a beautiful show of
Egyptian splendors. The story of it is
that Julius Caesar, not then a tyrant
with Splenic grOuches, but right am
liable monarch, found Cleopatra not yet

based on the Thaw-White homicide
The little theatre once known as Mrs
Osborne's Playhouse, where Harry
Thaw and Stanford White picked out
Evelyn Nesbit from the row of show
girls submitted to wealthy profiigates
Tor admiration, was reOpened for this
enterprise. The expectation was that
the house could be made bawdier than
before by exploiting the tragedy which
mad got its start there.
Thaw, White and Evelyn, by name as
well as by imitation, were the charac-
ters in THE Day Before" Thaw was
represented as having married EVELYN
away from White, and hubby and wiley
were trying TO be good together: but
White was determined that EVELYN
should go back to him and be bad
again. The triune scenes offensiveness
was made ridiculous by an actress
weighing in at 200 pounds to impersonate
the 100 pounds of Evelyn's aesthetic
and ETHEREAL beauty, with the bulk
threatening to burst the confines of the
tiny stage with emotional phenomena.
The playlet made out Thaw to have
been excusingly provoked to kill White:
