TENDER WISP
IS THE COWL
CLEO
By HAROLD PHILLIPS.


The Selwyn-Klauber production
Of Antony and Cleopatra" at the
Belasco, with Jane Cowl, is q
beautifully illustrated. pageant Of
revelations.
Reading from left to right the
revelations are:
l. A sublimated Cleopatra, anti
thesis of the arch-priestess OF de-
sign most of us roughnecks had
pegged her for.
2. An histrionic vein In Rollo
Peters makeup that neither his
Romeo nor his Pelleas had charted
and which reveals him, probably,
IN the most glorious performance
Of his career.
The illustrations are the magni-
0cently propOruoned settings that
Peters, the designer, has given
Cowl and Peters, the actors.
The C0wl translation is certainly
not serpentine, If lilies grew on

faunal; though here and there
there are observable splotohes Of
mud on her petals. The interpre-
tation can be called brave rather
than ideal. It Is bravery, isn't it,
to impersonate as clinging vine,
with whimsical shoots, a lady
whose claim to three centuries of
rather infamous memory lay in
her talents for kissing kingdoms
away? Miss Cowl's Cleopatra has
Ats fleeting seconds Of fire and
emotion, but the chord seems out
OF tune except for her final mo-
ments when the death trance en-
velops her. Here she is at her
very best, in charitable spotlight,
seemingly, for the first time.
Well. others have taken Hber-
ties with Shakespeare tolerant
scripts so, mayhap, the tender ana
,etherealized Cleopatra of the Cowl
genre will at least crowd a couple
Of fingers into history's niche.
Rollo Peters, as Antony, out
reaches his stature and memory
Of some previous characterizations
by a positively fine performance.
He is vigorous, warrior to his

It's" SkindALS This Year
Pms Little Jim

When George Whites epitaph
Is Written-and may it be many
years away-let 1t read thus: He
White blew the old family bank
roll and mortgaged the home
stead Holstein to put out the
fifth edition of the Scandals, /"
the same which shimmers bright
ly at the National Theater this
week, and he spent with the
happy profligacy of one who casts
bread upon the waters.
Well, boys and girls, the bakery
is coming downstream to Mr..
White. The Scandals makes
the grade by the tinsel, song and
epidermis route. The last point
is so emphatically emphasized
that a punning critic will some
day refer to the production as
the "Skindals." Wait and see.
The show moves with pleasing
ease and grace. One beautiful
picture fades into another until
the audience is so overpowered
by splendor that it really doesn't
make much difference what's
happening on the stage.
Winnie Lightner and Tom Pat
ricola, late of vaudeville and little
Lester Allen, whose wistful face
is ever missed on the burlesque
boards, are the heart and soul
of the revue's comedy side. The
comedy is very thin, for the most
part, but these three, by dint of
hard work, manage to draw down
the applause. Considering the
material they had to work with,
they earn every cent of their
pay. A clever skit Is 1.-THE Gall
