Miss Garden as salome frames q pail lid face with red hair cut short at the neck. Her principal garment. is white, thin and SO translucent that the out lines of her slender. shapely form are plainly visible. except when an orange mantle gives it partial privacy. She looks like figure stepped down from sn Egyptian mural painting: but In her lure of John she suggests a temptress from the bouievards of modern Paris. When she comes to the dance. though she let's the vaudeville Saiones out strip her. and there is no reason to be- lieva that her nudity is other than make-believe. It is graceful anyway. and extremely voluptuous.
 Misc Rajah's Cleopatra fs charmer of snakes as well as men: and her potency, with reptiles seems to be rated by her sh0wman'a higher than her power to mash masculine human beinge; for neither Marc Antony nor any other of her bedevilied dupes IS
 displayed with her; but q, long. rat. real snake is her sole companion; and that big specimen of harmless water snalxe--not Rn esp. scorpion or other traditional viper of deadly venom--is finally the executioner of the suicidal sentence that she passes upon herself.
 Truth to tell, she doesn't say q word
 about Marc, or anything else, but
 seems to be on terms of congeniai in-
 ttmacy with the snake; and as to him
 (may be should say her or indefin- |kfely "it," but # comes easier to write
 "he' in mentioning the Egyptian fiirt's comradel7 he acts quite at home with her. and no one would be surprised
 to see them sit down and coll up to- eether and look for notes for ladies and serpents, how and when to shed
 their gowns and skins, in the columns
 of The Dove-cote and Dote-dope Mag.
