“TIGER CATS”
PREROGATIVE OF WOMEN LONDON, June 6. “ Most of the world’s great women were * tiger cats,’ including Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth, Catherine of Russia, and the famous French courtesans,” said Mr Robert Loraine, the actor-manager, interviewed after an interruption in a play named “ Tiger Cats,” when a woman in the gallery shouted, “It’s not true. Women are not like that.” Mr Loraine added that many good, charming, and faithful women the world over were not “ tiger cats,” but few of them were great. He could recall only Queen Victoria and Joan of Arc. Mrs Loraine said that she thought that all women were worth their salt as potential “ tiger cats.” It depended on the men whether they showed their claws. Some men turned women into “tiger cats” and some were “tiger cats ” any way.
