SARAH BERNHARDT.
william winters criticism of Her.

william Winters Criticism of Her.
From he Nt,0 York Tribune.
The eminent foreign player was well
coined with eager plaudits of gladness and
admiration by sparkling, alert, and nu-
merous audience-the handsome theatre
beng crowded to its limits--and she gave
performance remarkable for the dexter
ity and finish Of its mechanism and for Its
ample revelation Of those personal pecu-
liarities that have inspired and long re-
tanned the devotion Of her admirers.
The supple figure, the nervous force,
the incessant yet reposcful and beautifully
nodded action, the unerring fitness of ex-
plessive gesture, the. wealth Of capricious
wiles, the melody Of voice, the vehement
loquacity and the abundant resources of
craft and Of fury in moments of sudden
theatrical transition-all these equip
ments and felicities of her exceptional
personality and her authoritative art re-
main unimpaired and entirely at her COM
mand. She was evidently touched by the
cordially of the public greeting, and, in
her mood Of responsive sensibility, she
acted with unusual animation and with
more expeditions artistic zeal than II has
always been customary for her to exhibit.
She is unquestionably women of
unique character and of great talents;
and us such, and Notwithstanding that
her influence upon the stage and upon
The dramatic profession has been almost
universally harmful, she may be seen and
studied with interest and benefit. The
propensity to look upon Sara Bernhard
as a prodigious, and wonderful, and in
comparable, and transcendent actress, in
deed, ought not to be encouraged. 1t was
the unwholesomc product OF notorety,
and IL is part of that folly which declares
all art that is foreign, and especially all
acting that Is French, to be naturally and
intrinsically better than our own.
Sarah Bernhard is an accomplished
artist, but she has never reached and she
never will reach, the height that was oc-
cupied ON tho American stage by Char
lotte Cushman, and that is occupied on
the English stage by Ellen Terry. Yet
according to her nature and within her
limitations, the French actress is one of
the powers of this period, and not to be
ignored in any thoughtful estimate of the
dramatic forces that affect society and
tinge the current olcontemporary thought.
