Antony and
Cleopatra

BY one who never gets nearer than
the back row. n !"
The Antony and Cleopatra" Of the
Charles B. Hanfsrd company pleased q
large audience at the opera house
Monday night, but none with discrim.
ination will claim that the production
was aught but an artistic failure. 1t
most reminded one OF dress rehear.
sal OF Corianton, or that first night
with the Lady Imhaus and Alphonz
Either IN the title roles; though God
forbid that we should compare Mr..
Hanford with the mouthy Alphonz, or
the Antony-C Cleopatra production with
the later Corianton. In scenic splen.
dor, lighting and stage effects, music
and ballet, Of which press notice
made much, the production Monday
night Is not to be mentioned In the
same class with Corianton, and In
comparison with various other pre-
sensations OF this spectacular Shakes
perean tragedy. the Hanford produc-
tion was very tame, though Hanford
himself, as Marc Antony, may be
passed without criticism. Yea, 1t may
even be said of him that ne Is ever
more acceptable than Louis James,
but as for Miss Alice Wilson in the
role o; Cleopatra, she never once arose
to the brilliant opportunities offered.
She has voice like funeral and put
into her Cleopatra the life OF two
funerals. She is as a fire that has
never been lighted, as liquor without
the bead; her Characterization lacked
all that 1t reguired-keen intelligence,
righteousness, sensual suggestion,
brilliancy, sirenic attraction, passion;
in fact she gave ample evidence that
she has no real conception of the char
acter and lacks the ability to make
the part. And what Is Antony and
Cleopatra without Cleopatra? While
Marie Drofnah, Mr.. Hanford's wife,
lacks much of being ideal, one can not
but wonder whether it Is a divorce Oh
merely an interesting family event in
prospect that has caused him to sub
stitute Alice Wilson in her stead.
Something critical and unavoidable,
rather than good Judgment, must be
back OF the change.
The Julius Caesar of Alexander Nc.
Kenzie was acceptable, likewise the
Enobarbus OF John NJ. Cline. Nc
Kennels claim on place in stage his
tory will rest wholly on his ability to
assume an extraordinary dignity for
so short u man. Cline's God like
physical perfection and sonorous voice
commend him, though methlnks nc
likes overly well TO hear his tones.
Caryl Gillin, as Mardian, a slave and
a clown, may be mentioned favOrably,
though his parts were very minor.
The production as whole was not
bad, and was enjOyed by the audience;
nevertheless it was not what one had
right TO expect. Many enjoyed the
moving picture scenes OF Egypt and
Rome, given as preliminary.

REM ARKABLE CASE
 vr SKIN GRATING

New York, August 10.-Believed by the physicians to have been the subject of one of the most remarkable series of slxin-grafting operations that have been performed in Brooklyn in several years, Miss Catherine German, 23 years old' mas probably undergone the last of the opera tions which have saved her life. She was injured while at work in a Williams burg store last May, when her hair be- came entangled in the machinery or money-carrying device and almost all or the hair on top of her head was torn off, carrying the scalp with it. She was rushed to the hospital, where the physi- clans quickly saw that skin grating would be necessary. Six weeks ago the first operation was performed. Two or her relatives offered themselves as sub jects. They were Miss Margaret Cor man and a cousin, whose name IS Wlth- held. They were chosen in preference to several young women who volunteered as friends of Miss German, The wound upon which the skin was grafted was lz inches in circumference. Patches of skin three inches square were removed rom the legs of the persons giving their skln, after an anesthetic had been admins tered. Then the skin was placed upon the wound, forming what the physicians term skin islands" From the edges or the islands" new skin quickly formed and spread until all were covered. In two of the operations the skin was re- moved from the leg of Miss German.

 President Feeney stated that the fed eration had done much toward securing compensation for damage done to church property in the Philippine Islands, and had assisted in pressing the charges against Judge Wilhey of the United States court in China.
 Secretary Matre's report dealt partcu- larly with the school question, arguing that the federation ought to share the school funds for the secular work done in Catholic schools. The federation. he said. had aroused sentiment against the grant ing of divorces.
