There are some things iliat do not allow a diversity of opmloa, mid the production of dwoimra. as presented by Miss Lillian Ishvis at tho Academy hint evening is one of them. There can he hut one opinion about the gwnduer of this production. It Is without question one of the host singed, Costumed and nio.t :iu||a4tlo pictorial produetlons Hint has been given any dramnllo composition anywhere by anybody. This production of Cleopatra doubtless cost uttca, but tbe results justify the cxpcudimrc. A11 immeuse iiudieaeo saw .Miss Lewis at the Academy last evening. No one who enu appreciate the lienu- tlful .it art can afford to mbs seeing tills gorgeous spectacle, for such II Is. lit orything Is on 11 lilg scale—the com pany, ihe scenery, tho ballets, tlio seenlo nml spectacular effects, Ihe cho- rusis, the llghtn.ng, the tableaux vl- vanf. Everything part.iKcs of the big ness of spectacular ami combines with It the strength attd vigor of drama. Miss Lewis’ clnractotsxnilon of Cle opatra Ills this brilliant staging, and she herself, as jvell as her acting, shines In this high light nml splendor mid color. A« it matter of course Shakespeare's Cleopatra Is not only the most glorious but also Ihe most mithentta blographv or tho Egyptian Lor* tjuoen. Miss Lewis has .demined this diameter with herself. Nothing Miss Lewis has ever played has iffontsd her genius ,..e opportunity she tlmU lit Cleopatra. She makes loro tbe motive power of oil her actions. Her purling scene wltji Antony lu lao llrst uet must re-' Own In tlio minds of nil who see her us n beautiful piece of netlug. It fs lu the third net, however, that Miss Lewis rises to the full height and climax of her power. It Is when she receives the news of Antony’* marriage lo Ontavla tUaTflie many sided eharae- . ter Is developed. Mho clonus and raves, entreats and weeps, she Is nil love nml scorn nml bate, and all hit- milliy ami tenderness ami shame.
