Cleopatra is the most wrong ly described female in the his tory of the world. Just came upon a reference to her as "the beautiful red haired Egyptian Cleo was neither beautiful nor red haired. Nor was she an Egyp tian. She was a Macedonian Greek, whose hair coloring hesi tated between blonde and bru nette. Her crowning glory was far from attractive so she wore a red wig. While not a beauty, Cleopatra, was highly successful as a charmer of males because she understood men. Drama Critics , , ... It was one of the Shuberts who said to drama critic George Jean Nathan, "You never wrote a , play. So how can you tell whether one is good or bad?" To which Nathan made the classic reply, I never laid an egg but I know a bad one when I taste it." George, the most brilliant of contemporary drama critics, certainly does know a bad play when he sees it. He knows a good one, too.

Was the song titled "A Bicycle Built for Two" inspired by the honeymoon of the great bicycle rider Bobby Walthour and. his lovely bride? A. I have heard that claimed but it is not true. The real title of the song you refer to is "Daisy Bell." It was written in England by the British composer Harry Dacre. Horses & Women Reed Suplee, president of the world -famous American Sun bat hi n g Association, recently said, "Wives who are nudists are no different from other wo men when it comes to 'fashion.
