Cleopatra" which made such a success
at the New Amsterdam Theater, New

Mr.. Shaw has written Caesar and a
Cleopatra who are particularly human
and who might belong TO any period Of
time. He takes the position that hui
man nature has not changed within the
last 1900 years and that at the time
when Caesar entered Egypt, then a man
OF more than fifty years Of age. and met
CLEOPATRA. then a girl Of sixteen. that
people deported themselves much IN the
same manner as their descendants in
the present twentieth century. He con-
tends that all men Of that time did not
strut, express themselves IN blank verse
and continually indulge In heroics: that
their sense OF humor was not always
buffoOnery and that women loved. hated.
