Gets a Glimpse of Divine
Sarah.
Two Thousand People Hear Her
in Camille.
USED THE PIPE ORGAl
Orchestra Could Not Be Hired
for the Event.
Receipts of Engagement About
Three Thousand Dollars.

There are at least 1900 people in
Topeka now in position to make the
boast that they have seen Bernhardt.
the Divine Sarah.
They can tell their children and
grandchildren how on April Z. 1906.
they watched the celebrated French
actress roll her eyes; heard the soft
purring of her musical voice; gazed
upon the sumptuous wardrobe which
she exhibits at each performance. and
didn't have the slightest idea what 1t
was all about except the stray sen
fences which they managed to snatch
from the translation or pony which
they bought from the usher.
A Frenchwoman in the audience,
who has seen Bernhard in Paris in
years past, says that she was disap-
pointed in Saturday nights perform
ance; that Madame Bernhard is losing
her power. However. when the occa-
sion warranted it, the aged actress
seemed to be able to throw good
sized thrill into her audience in spite
of the fact that it was almost unani-
nous in not understanding her words.
It is rather unusual to go to a the
atrical performance and listen to pipe
organ music between the acts, but
that was one of the features of the
snow. BernharOt always manages to
have some special feature for each
performance. At Dallas she played in
tent; in Topeka she played to pipe
organ accompaniment. The organ
was played by machinery. and the ma
chinery was engineered by W. F.
Roehr. It was impossible to engage an
orchestra.
There is nothing much to brag
about on the stage equipment. The
drop curtain was so fimsy that the
audience could see through it; see the
shadowy forms of supers moving the
furniture, of the actors and actresses
pacing about. and of the stage man
ager as he piped all hands to quar-
ters and pulled the string which slid
the curtain away. The stage had
been built up IS inches above its nor
NAL level, and extended out about five
feet This gave ample stage room,
but did not allow any scene shifting
to speak of.
The receipts of the performance were
81, 900. So of which the Pipe Organ assoc
iation received Is per cent. This was
S435.53. and out of it the association
paid $500 for building the temporary
stage and for advertising So the net
profit to the organ association for the
evening was S235.%sf his is just about a
fair rental for the use of the Auditor
ium.
Following viii be found what some OF
the members OF the State Journal force
thought about the performance. Take
voilr choice:

Ouite the most astonishing and I'M

friridity of the audience. But perhaps

unexpectedly to Camille just before her

subtle way to portray the conflicting

call it shriek-as the ordinary defni-

contained just the correct mingling Of
surprise and intense delight It rather
conveyed the idea of the tragic than
contained it. In all the other approx

to be telling his audience from the

tragic. Do you see the tragedy?' And

cause she does not care for it though
acknowledging that no doubt to some
drama is more fascinating than music.
However, she stepped over her preju-
diees to spend the evening Of Saturday
at the Auditorium. DO YOU know
she said naively, II have always been
accustomed to picking out the great
musicians. pianists, grand opera artists
and violinists and placing them off in

boy said"

centuatetd by its apparent narrowness
and the mass of crimpy reddish-yellow
hair, striking a harsh color note. The
expression came involuntarily and be-

/ only time the woman made a critical
commentary on Sarah, she lost herself
/ in the movements on the stage and as

| no doubt were the chief instruments to
effect this feeling. The impetuosity of
her acting. the response of her nature to
the call made on it completed what the
other two failed to produce.

Adieu Bernhard. Fare you well. It
is always a privilege, and a pleasure
as well, to even gaze on one whom
tickle fame has crowned with laurelS.
and all who were at the Auditorium
on Saturday night will have the con-
ISOLATION, at least, of being able to re-
hearse in the dim, distant future to
their own or some one else's grand
children that it was their favor to see
Bernhard, whose reputation will ever
stand as that of the greatest TRACE
dienne of the age, present that ex-
cruciating exposition of love and ag-
onizing death as told in the words of
Dumas fills in his masterpiece La
Dame AUX Camelias.
But be it understood that Bern
hardt made her deserved reputation IN
and to a preceding generation Ger
tainlv it never could have been made

To be sure, it was impossible to give
the piece a fit setting, but the Bern
hardt of today is not the Bernhard OF
moons ago. Age may toss smile at
youth on a good many propositions but
it needs the fire of youth, or quasi
youth at least to depict the joys and
agonies of Camille
THAT Bernhardt's rendition of this
part is still remarkable piece of act
ing there can be no doubt. Her mere
ability to carry through such part at
the age of 81 years stamps her as a
wonderful woman, but she is really
acting on her lauTels now. The
ianguor Of age is upon her and the
best she did Saturday night was to
present a delicate and subtle inter

narts which was ever written for a

VARYING weight Of the Body.

a physician points out ths. several
fallacies are common With regard 10
the weight of the human body. The
man who consratulatss himself on his
gain OF several pounds il weight In a
given period may have no cause Tor
rejoicing, for he may be under deiu-
sion. Very few persons, SAYS the In
vestigator, have any correct idea OF
their own weight. Az matter OF fact'
the weight Of the body Is continually
changing owing to innumerable infu-
ences. On a warm day after break
fast a man will lose more than third
of a pound per hour. Seventy per cent
of the body contains water. and Its
weight varies constantly. The infer
ence to be drawn from ths less or gain
of a pound or two may i've mistrusted-
Fluctuations of a few ounces are q
sign that the body is In g healthy
state.-Milwaukee Citizen.
