Bernharat and nnrennort-

Recently Fanny Davenport in an inter
view expressed certain opinions concern
ing Bernhard which were characterized
by certain degree Of acidity. 10 say the
least A representative of the New York
Recorder called on Bernhardt TO let her
express herself. The result is reported as
follows.

ter, was in a sort of diSheveled couture

thought OF her, giving il by sections, so as
to break il gently.
At the first section she shrugged her
green sleeves and observed that Miss Da-
kenports opinion was matter of utter in
difference to her. At the second she shrug-
ged the sleeves more vigorously, and de-
clared emphatically she was still indiffer-
emit At the third section she opened the
safety Din and jabbed il tentatively into
Fanny. And she said she was Indifferent
TO Miss Davenport. 1t was apparent. how
ever, that the skirt had been skewerd as
a skirt alone.
But it was cautiously limited, Miss
Davenport has acted I'm your roles and she
has some claim to speak as an authority"
Yes, answered Madame, .'she has play

Fedora
And why not as Gismondag''
At that madame flung up her hands like
the French dressmaker who cried what
immortality al sight Of an limiting gown,
She also stuck the Din through her skirt
again And she remarked:
That she can play Fedora does not say
she can play GismOnda"
But why not? VIII you not explain the
difference, as il applies to Miss Daven-
port ?"
THE difference and up went the hands
and the safety pin. THE plays are laid in
different scenes and years. Gismonda is a
grande dame; she must have distinctions
she knows something about the air aris-
tocratic.''
There could he no doubt madame's whole
artistic nature had been shocked. She
took one excited moment to think; then,
with her arm swung wide in a graphic
gesture, she said something Davenport
will never forgive
