I (Berthe de Say iSry) had to arrive by a lit le bridge over a stream of water. Ire glaze was bathed in moonlight. Cr-iZs tte had just played her part and he~ kisses had been greeted with bu' st of applause This was rather daring in those days for the Comedie Francaise. But what have they not given tEe.e since then?
 Suddenly a fresh burst of arpauge was heard. Amusement could b. read on many faces, and Perrin st~od up terrified. I was crossing the bridge, my pale face wild with grief and the ball wrap. which was intended to c1v- CT my shoulders, traiing along, just held by my limp fingers, while my arms were hanging down as though desTair had deprived me of their use. I was bathed in the white light of the moon. and the effect, it seems, was deeIlY striking and impressive. Suddenly a nasal aggressive voice cried out: "One moon effect is enough. Turn it eff for Mile. Bornhardt.'
 I sprang forward to the front O, the stage. Excuse me, M. Perrin" I ex- claimed, you have no right to tlke my moon away. The manuscript re ds, 'Berthe advances. pale, convulsed with emotion, the rays of the rom falling on her I am pale and I am c-nvulse1. must have my moon."
