The Real Cleopatra

was given the berth Of he-governess
to Cleopatra Some say he was a
Sicilian, others insist he was a Greek.
Both are right, for Sicily was then
a Greek colony.
The old savant made a thorough
job of teaching the young Cleopatra
and began when she was about 5 or 6.
We are told that she spoke 80 Ian
guageS.
When she went to Rome to man
age her salon, her tutor went with
her. She invited Cicero, Cato, the
poets and rhetorician to her soirees,
and startled them with her leading
questions.
She had to get her material from
somewhere. The source was faithful
AppolodoruS. After an hours coach
ing, she would lead the conversation
to astronomy, say, or zebras, or
Pharoah's system of taxation. Facts
on all these things were to be found
in Appolodorus' thousand-foot book
shelf. What happened to him in the
end, we don't know. He drops out
completely. It's pity he never wrote
his memoirs. He could have cleared
up lot of moot points in his Now

Glimpses Of Stage Folk
in Washington
THE hottest number Of Don Best
J. or's act at the Earle this week

TINE hottest number of Don Best
l. or's act at the Earle this week
almost burned up before the
opening curtain Friday morning.
Called the vibraphone, an instrument
with tone variously described as that
of a harp, an organ, a muted xylo-
phone. the Bestor pet was sitting
quietly down front stage while music
stands were put in place, saxophonists
orientated and trumpeters set on their
proper perches.
An electrician stuck plug In the
vibraphone motor cit has a motor to
create air pressure or something, not
to play the keys). The line was at
tached to direct current. Suddenly
smoke rolled out of the vibraphone' S
insides.
Entirely too young for that" said
Mr. Bestor.
The pianist began playing Smoke
Gets In Your Eyes" Electricians cut
their switch. A conference. Sad
words fell from waggling heads. 1t
looked like the pride and Joy of
Bestor's Band was going to "open" in
Washington repair shop. He has
the exclusive rights on the vibra-
phone for one year, but there was
nothing In his contract about fires.
Finally a skeptical wire singer tried
attaching a plug connected to the
alternating current. Mr.. Bestor sat
down and ran his fingers lightly over
the keys dour octaves, arranged piano
fashion,. Cool, mellow notes flowed.
The professional Bestor countenance
broke into a beatific smile.
"Ah, ha-a-a,' he said, gargling the
sound slightly.
Vibraphone, incidentally, was dis
covered in a funeral parlor. A friend
of the maestro'S who used to be in the
show business is now an undertaken
in Syracuse. He had bought the in
strument to replace an organ. When
Bestor heard it he Immediately sensed
the possibilities for use in a dance
band. Bought up the rights at once.
The inventor, who works for a musical
firm, thought the idea a big laugh.
Actually, 1t was a hit. Vibraphone is
not easy to play. An expert pianist,
the orchestra leader spent three
months in mastering it. Touch must
be feathery, as q full stroke on the
keys makes a noise like a blast fur
mace blowing out its doors. Also, con-
tinued use of the phone is tough on
piano technique. For that reason the
regular band pianist won't touch It.
About the bespectacled Mr. Bestor
himself, he does not seem so scholarly
of stage. Relaxes into easy conversa-
ton about his early days in shows.
He was a self-taught musician, went
into a Midwestern repertory company
at the age Of IA, playing piano for
light operettas. Later he became mu-
sical director as well as pianist in this
line Of the theater, at one time bought
motion picture house and operated
it himself.
When he began TO miss trouping, he
sold the film house, went to Chicago
| and Joined the then-famous Benson
Orchestra. Later he took over the
Benson Band and eventually it as
sumed his name BeStor had at last
achieved parity with his older brother,
the late Verne Bestor, also an orches-
ira conductor. r. B. p, Jr.
