The Return Of Nine. Bernhardt.

Madame Bernhardt is authority for
the statement that IN Hamlet" she
will use a skull given her by Mounet-
6 lily. which she carries IN a silver box.
The skull was beQueathed to his son
by a comedian OF Moliere's time, and
has done duty on the French stage
ever since.
Though sixty-two years OF age.
Madame Bernhard shows no dimInu-
ton Of energy, and the same fiery zeal
that caused Edmond Rostand TO won

is stil apparent. When she arrives IN
her special train from the West to
play FIVE roles IN an afternoon and

10 do so, would play morning. noon.
and night, and play incomparably. Her
technique Is fiawless. and the mechan>
ism OF her art has reached a phenom-
email exactitude. The old dash and pas
sion Of performance has had its fires
scarcely dimmed, and those who see the
Sarah of Tuesday night will see an
artist whose story will become one Of
the heroic legends of the twentieth cen
tury.
Madame Bernhardt assures her man
agement that this is her irrevocable
farewell. and IN a letter eouched IN
sparkling and eloquent French she has
said that there is a limit to all things,
even TO her vitality. and that she does
not expect that the grim tragediaD
Time will spare her his inevitable bru-
talities much longer" Here Is a re-
markable exit from the American stage
