He again says. assigning it d place even higher than that of being the most wonderful of the historical plays. the highest praise or rather, form of praise. of this play, which l can offer in my own mind. is the doubt which the perusal always occasions in me whether the Antony and Cleopatra is not in ali exhibitions of a giant power .- Its strength and vigour of maturity. a formidable rival of Mac beth. Lear. Hamlet and Othello." The epithet wonderful" is unquestionably the right one to apply to this drama. It is too vast too gorgeous. to be ap- preached without some prostrdtion of the understanding IL pOurs such a flood of monday splendour upon our senses. that we cannot gaze upon it steadily. We have read it again and again and the impression which it leaves again and again is that of won der"
 A spectacular revival of this most wonderful historical play will be pre- scented by MT Charles B. IIanfOrd during the present season.

Cleopatra that rare Egyptian queen. who pursed up the heart of Mare Antony at their first meeting upon the river of Cydnus. whom everything becomes to chide, 10 laugh. to weep" will be in the hands of that excellent actress.

 A gorgeous setting of Egyptian and Roman scenery "a ballet of dancing girls and chorus of youth and beau ty. beautifully and characteristically costumed. pictures and pleasing cleo tric effects including the great scene The Battle and the Storm" are a few of the many features introduced to add to the interest and realism of the play.

NEW DEFINITION OF OLD AGE

The American Magazine has made a great find in David Grayson. author of Adventures in Contentment." This month he begins a new series. "The Open Road" In the course of his es- say. the author has this to say of old age:
 Things grow old and stale. not be- cause they are old but because we cease to see them. Whole vibrant worlds around us disappear within the sombre mists of familiarity. Which ever way we look the roads are dull and barren. There is a tree at our gate We have not seen in years: a flower blooms in cur door-yard more wonderful than the shining heights of the Alps,'
 Tt has seemed to me sometimes as though I could see men hardening be- fore my eyes. drawing in a feeler here. walling up an opening there. Nam ing things. Objects fall into cate gories for them and wear little sure channels in the brain. A mountain is a mountain. tree a tree. to them. a field forever a field. Life solidifies itself in words! And finally hew everything wearies them: and that is old age."
