Ancient History Brought Down to
Date in o. C. w. Play, Caesar
and Cleopatra" Big Crowd
is Present
STAGED BY DIRECTION
MISS FRANCES DAVIS
Velvet Curtains Add Much to At
traction Of Stage Settings; Stu
dents of Expression Depart
ment in Cast.

Before one of the largest audiences
that ever rallied to the support OF an
undertaking by the dramatic art de-
partment of the Oklahoma College
for Women, George Bernard Shaw S
| satire, Caesar and Cleopatra" was
presented in the college auditorium
last night under the direction of
Miss Frances Dnsmore Davis, head
of the expression department.
When the curtain rose on the first
scene, the audience caught its
breath, for the entire stage, back.
drop and sides as well as the front
had been hung with velvet curatins
of midnight blue, which gave an air
of gorgeousness entirely metropoli-
tan and made an effective back
ground for the brilliant colors of the
oriental settings.
The play was written in Shaw's
best manner. In costume and scene
of ancient Egypt, the characters
were brought down to date. This
created an atmosphere comic, yet
without a touch of burlesque
The cast was large and the stag
ing an enormously difficult task, but
exceptionally well performed. The
gorgeous stage pictures were worked
out with the attention to historic
correctness and detail characteristic
OF the 0. c. W. methods.
Especially startling were the stage
effects in the lighthouse scene where
Appollodorus, standing on the ba,e
of carpets in which Cleopatra was
hidden, is swung by a crane from
the sea TO the stage. The audience
recognized this scene with burst
of applause.
Miss Lone Wright, as Cleopatra.
was exquisite both in appearance and
acting She was a dazzling little
figure and her work was so finished
as to seem that of a professional
rather than an amateur. The most
thing about Miss
Wright's performance is her voice
which is exceptional in variety of
tone and infection as well as of
richness and beauty.
Every member of the cast deserves
special mention, but Miss lone Bal
lew, as Appolodorus, an Assyrian, !
and Eva Kimball, as the nurse Ftata-
teeta deserve especial praise Also,
Miriam Austin as the Child King |
Ptolemy; Marie Magness and Eva |
Hayes as Rufus and Theodus; Mar
guerite Newblock as Belzanor; and |
Eloise Austin and Winnie Davis as
the mads, Iris and Chairman were
good.
Others who appeared in the CT st |
were: jamie jenkins, Lydia Pace,
Thelma Gigler, Marjorie Berry, /
Daphne Sanders, Lucille Walden !
Rucker and Anna Brown. |
