SPOKANE.

Spokane's interest in classic
drama was attested last night by a
crowded house for Hanford's pro-
duction of Antony and Cleopatra"
The strong points Of the drama
were quickly appreciated and ap-
plauded, although 1t Is pretty gen.
orally understood that Hanford is
not the Shakespearian actor he
likes to have the critics say he is.
The introduction of moving pic
lures, smacking somewhat of a
vaudeville feature, are apt to strike
the admirer of the classic as bit
out of place. but there is no
criticism to offer on the settings as
a whole. Alice Wilson is fair
Cleopatra, and the support devel-
opes no more weak spots than is
to be expected.
