KntrlM Ferbee-Robertson Cleopatra Charcr.laa -Mlw Jaaala Busley Jt 7.MUa Leah Bateman-Hunter Whatever the ultimata effect of Thai New Theatre" production of Antony and Cleopatra," there can be no two opinion about the difficulty of the task ta this 1U Initial enterprise, the generous tptrlt la which Jt was approached, ana tk earnestness with which the effort ha been made. Th theatre Itsslt la a. delight to the eye, even If. a appeared on the opening night something yet remains to be accomplished to farms; complete satisfaction to the ear; It Is rich la de-talled comfort, and In every sens equals. If It doee not surpass, the protnlse that the founders made.

It provides. In other words, a playhouse which If not superior In beauty and appointments to the great ute endowed theatres abroad is yet the peer of any of them in solidity of eon-( traction, beauty of design and splendor of decoration; It an InsUtu-tloa of which the city may be distinctly proud, and deserrea liberal patronage and encouragement at the outset There was less complaint of the acoustics last night than at the general rehearsal, but some changes will probably ba necessary befora th theatre is completely satisfying in this respect. And the question of whether the house is not toe large for modern drama and more ln-tlmats comedy may not well be decided until experiments have been' made; The task has been a Urge one, and. In all fairness, patience should prevail until the initial problems have been ore room a. This, too.

In spite of the fact that the net result-Of Its first production is disappointment 8pctcularty and histrionically much more might have been accomplished. The effort to avoid excessive elaboration has occasionally resulted In an underemphasls of what might have been more pictorially effective, notably I la such a ease as that of the flight of 1 Antony's army, where ten times the number of men ought to be brought pell mell across the stage. Again, in Cleopatra's palace, beautifully simple in design, with 4n expansive reach of sea and ky een through towering; columns, there might be mors color and life, more sug-treated atmosphere and movement in groups of alavea. Were the one to the standarda of which a company of aetora might reasonably asDlre such restrictions might be welcomed; here they serve to heighten disillusion. For it should have been ap-narent at the outset that neither Miss Aiarlowe nor Mr.

In this play the historical scenes follow ene anotner in oreainieea rapiaiiy, vivia traits in character ar merely flashed forth for an instant, while the events in the history, vital, fraught with enormoun consequences, dwarf the individuals who figure in its making.

This la at onoel the problem ana the victory of the pvjet. For rwith all the cumbering detail, with all the disconcerting and distractinar Incidents, the figures of Antony and Cleopatra, loom -forth co lossal, almost overpowering in tneir grana or. The story of a great Roman's dearr' dation. as Plutarch tells It first attracts the poet. He sees the traglo figure of one In whom there Is a gradual weakening or a great warlike power, ne sees mm, also, as a svmbol of the decavinr West- era nation, brought Into contact with the corrupting Influence of the East And in ttie opposing figure of the magnificent Egyptian tiueen he finds another symbol -the human being needed represent on ner part the allurement or baroano ncn zest that leads to this decay.

bearers of the classic banners. Cut nevertheless, by personality and experience, by physique and temperament their range is not sufficiently to meet th needs of Antony and Cleopatra. Certainly on the greater human side these actors would never have inspired that famous remark of the Victorian British matron at a production of the play: "How very different from the home life of our dear Queen! It does not matter ia the least what Antony may have been in fact what he appears to be in history: it is not of the slightest Importance whether th real Cleopatra was actually the conniving, scheming politician which such a realist as Gugiielino Ferraro makes her out or in very truth the tempestuous lovlntr creature of Plutarch and the cumulative historic Imagination the actors must seek their model in the poet's text their figures to be impressive on the stage must have the largeness, the breadth, the depth, the encompassing grandeur with whlcn the poet has there endowed them. Trfiss Marlowe has beauty, it is true, and charm and sympathy; ahe reads nelodiously and her voice fails at times with soothlns: utterance on the ear; she moves with grace and ease, often with plastic variety of pose. But neither her beauty, trrace, nor charm, action or utterance or the power of speech Is of a quality- to bring Egypt's voluptuous Queen before us.

It does not appear either. that she has understood or been able to adapt herself to Cleopatra, being mainly enajauei presenting hsr In a likeness as near herself as possible. One looks in vain for the sugresUjn of languorous Orientalism, for the warm passions, the quick Impulses, the violent changes, now not now cold; "for the authority and weight of a woman and a queen, for they are there in Shakespeare's Cleopatra, despite her sudden gusty moods and lack of self-control. Miss Msrlowe's Cleopatra Is more girl than woman, her tempers are the tantrums of an Ingenue, she Is nearer Mary Tudor than tha Serpent of the Nile. Use' Marlowe's Best Mosaeats.

This is not to say that she Is without fine moments, that in ouch a scene as that In which th messenger brings news of Antony's marriage to Octavia she does not suggest a certain violence of wrath, that in the passages following the coming of the dying Antony she Is hot appealing, sweet and tender. But she Is never better than in her suggestion of the peculiar fascination of the aspics, where feminine repugnancy mingles witn a sly delight at thought of the part they are to play In cheating Ovtavlus Caesar Of his triumph. Her Miss Leah Bate- man uunter exniDtts excellent temperamental qualities and adds a touch of needed terror to the situation without too much Intruding, and Jdlss Jexsie Bus- ley also plays discreetly. Miss Bateman-Hunter's Iras has the charm of rirlinb-ness, and In every scene in which she figures, though nroperiv subordinate to lha main characters, the attraction of a mag netic personality- is zeit ana sne aaas a touch of warmth to the general picture. The value that ahe gives to her lesser role suggests in her excellent possibilities when she is cast for better acting parts.

Mr. Bothers' AetlaR. Mr. Bothern's best acting In this play Is the scene with Eros immediately fol lowing tha news of Cleopatra's supposed death, a scene played with a suggestion or sardonic bitterness and disappointment of sorrow in the -face of a last overwhelm ing calamity that- cannot oe combatted. of a firm understanding- that the end haa come, the end of all ambition, and a de sire ana will tor death to close the chapter.

But It is a scene that In Itself carries th deep note of traffic grief and it would be untrue to say that Mr. Sothern Invests It with the most tremendous deDth of feelins; possible. He plays the scene well of that there is no doubt but there is little suggestion anywhere of that Deml-Atiaa of this earth, the arm and burgonet of men." and at nis best his acting is a com petent rather than a complete achieve ment, rrom this point on to tne en a notn he and Miss Marlowe more nearly approximate what rolKht be desired, and here. too. the plav moves with ereater nersist- ency of holding but It is too late to overcome tne teaium or mucn wnicn goes before.

until the scene in which Antony unpacks his heart with words against this Cleopatra, whom In his bitter ness ft believes nas been his betrayer and his ruin, Mr. Sothern seemed in very trutn tnat Antony or tne later scenes, who complains that he is full of lead."

The Mew Theatre is to be congratulated on the presence of this foung actor, whose Initial performance- is ull of promise for the future, for he has sn apparent grasp of the demands of Shakespearean playing which is very rare at present, Of the others It is hardly necessary to speak at length, though a word of commendation Is due Mr.

Omnlroffs Family Vainly Appeal for Release of Old Bogeo Omnlroff, the Bohemian bari tone, who has lately arrived for his con cert tour, is the latest victim of the Custom House regulations. Omnlroff, who Is stopping at the Hotel Majestic, brought his family with him to enjoy a Winter of travel In America. On arriving, however, they all decided that the climate was very much colder than they had expected, and as the tour includes several cities further North than New York, a fable was im mediately sent to Russia for the family xurs. The furs arrived, but what was" th nlssrust of the singer, his wife, and ram tiy. to learn tnat tne ounaies naa oeen held up at the Custom House for about SMU duty.

Mailae urandell Postillions to the Marquis Tracy Kibert Tmeadale Babette O'Connor One of the most enjoyable musical com edies that has appeared along Broadway In a good while is "The Belle of Brittany," in which Frank Daniels disported himself last night at Daly's. It is very funny, but always daffity, and the music. while not pretentious. Is much above the kind to which New Yorkers have become gloomily resigned In shows of this sort The near-plot has something to do with a Marquis whose mortgaged estate must revert a miller If a missing contract Is found, and a cook who wants to marry the miller's daughter, who In turn wants to marry the Marquis's son.

But the plot haa nothlnsr to do with the show, and is not permitted to interfere with the fun for a moment Mr. Daniels is as rroucsome as ever, ana the burlesqu speech he made when called before the curtain waa as good as any thing in the Every member or Lfi cast is good in his or her line. Next to Daniels the chief credit for the success of tbe evening should go to Elsa Ryan and Martin Brown, whose sinking and dancing made every moment of their presence on the stage a pleasure. Frank Rush- wortn, uaisy uumont, innie tonnor, and George M. Graham deeerve special mention, ana tne cnorus was exceptionally good.

Nearly all the songs were catchy, and there was a generous quantity of them. Th only suggestion for th improvement of the show is that the Incident of the failure of th cook's masterpiece should be cut. The humor of that incident is too heavily British. i. ne comeay comes from London.
