BERNHARDT HAS COME AGAIN

The American people may forget
their woes. their sorrows and their
misfortunes. For a time, at least,
they may be banished, while we re-
joice in the pleasure OF the divine
Sarah return. Madame Bernhardt
is once more in our midst. She ar
rived on the French liner La lou
raine, and New York, especially
French New York, appeared at the
dock with open arms to welcome her
again to our soil. Other actresses
are forgotten while we become obllv-
iOus to all else save the presence OF
Bernhardt. 1t is a way we have, ana
vet. who can blame us? We are very
plainly democratic almost all OF the
three hundred and sixty-fiye days in
the year, but the old lOveOf making
much of noted folks" which per
haps came down TO us as a heritage
from our English ancestors, runs
strong in the blood and we'll do or
die in our effort TO give such celebri-
ties as Bernhardt and Prince Louis
and all the rest a welcome as becomes
their dignity and Ourown. Madame
Bernhardt is in this country for her
last tour-pOsitiyely her last-and
while the thought of this being her
final appearance on American soil
brings a watery mist to the eyes and
a sense of dull pain to the heart,
we'll try TO Danish the sorrow OF the
future while we revel in the Joy OF the
present. When she says adieu for
good and turns her back on these
shores, perhaps in the hands OF a
Belasco we may develop in Maude
Adams or some other American what
we shall so sadly miss in the magnif-
cent Sarah. In the meantime
Madame Bernhardt is delighting
Chicago with her La SOrciere and
other plays more or less comprehen-
sive to the American audience and
incidentally gathering in a harvest
of good American dollars which she
will carry back to sunny France.
