MODERN CLEOPATRA
Actresses Who Have Played Cleo

as the ProverbiaI Needle.

! The character of Cleopatra, with its
wide range of expression, its pictur-
esque possibilities and its interesting
historical background should one
would suppose, make a special appeal
| to the emotional actress. In looking
over the records of the famous ira
gediness one would expect to find
that the role of Cleopatra had been
favorite vehicle for their powers
and the occasion for more than one
triumph. The fact is, hcwever, that
! few ambitious and famous actresses
have attempted this part, not so much
because they feel themselves un-
worthy of bearing the sceptr Of
/. Egypt's Gratest Queen, as because
the Antonys who might be fitting

are exceptions to this as is the case OF
