A curious story of Sarah Bernhard
vas told in the dispatches last week
1t was said that at Youngstown, O..
the house was so small and Sarah was
petulant, even though she is safely
guaranteed 81 900 per performance. She
was playing Camille" in her native
tongue, and took advantage of her op-
portunity to say some most unpleasant
things, in French, about Youngstowns
lack OF appreciation. The audience,
only small part Of which understood
Sarah, applauded wildly, we are told
The story doesn't sound reasonable.
Madame Bernhard is surely too fine
an artist to risk spelling a scene by
such an exhibition OF temper. She is
quite capable Of saying unpleasant
things to an audience. but she would
say them from the stage without at
tempt to cover them. rather than in
terpolate them in a play.
And. speaking of lack Of apprecia-
ion, Salt Lake gave a manifestation
OF that very thing last week. The pat
rOnage accorded Madame MOdjeska
the greatest Of Polish actresses and in
some parts the greatest actress O. her
time, was pitifElly small. Those who
did see Madame Modjeska were aoun-
dainty rewarded She has by no means
lost her ability TO portray intense hu-
man emotions. and il is greatly to be
hoped that she will reconsider her an
nOunced determination to make this her
last tour OF the country.
The theatres will be open exactly
thirty-eight times this week. That
ought 30 satisfy the most persistent ad-
vOcate Of the theory that Salt Lake is
the best amusement town Of it's size in
the United States. The unusually large
number Of performances is accounted
for by the Washington birthday mat
fnees. Your manager OF a travelling
theatrical company who pays his people
by The week never overlooks an oppor-
tunity to work them for the few dollars
that the special matinee brings to him.
Two Salt Lakers will figure promi-
nently in the annual "gamboI' of the
Lambs club in New York tonight
They are Edwin Milton Royle and De-
witt c. Jennings. Mr.. Royle has writ
ten play which will be given it's first
presentation at the frolic of this
actors club, and Mr.. Jennings, who is
the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. o. A. Jen-
nigs, will take part. The play is as
yet unnamed. Mr.. Royle has called il
modern miracle play" Tt is in the
nature of an allegOry, and is declared
by those who have witnessed rehears-
ais TO be the most dramatic work he
has ever done.
