SHUBERT THEATRE

Yesterday afternoon at the Shubert
theatre in a matinee at which was pro-
duced composite bill, Nine. Sarah Bern
hardt gave her "adieu pour toujours' TO
Providence.
OF course the theatre-g going public
always s,ny takes , With a grain of ques-
the farewell Of the great French actress
yesterday IL is quite safe TO say Il was
bona fide and was the last time the people
of our city will see her-at least in a local
playhouse.
From this point Nine. Bernhardt and
her company jumped-not literally. but
with that hurry that has characterized
her trip in the United States-to New
Haven and played there last night From
there sne Will go 10 New York for a few
more fareMells ,,s1 and then for bonnY
Yesterday at the matinee there was an
act In four different plays produced which
gave the divine Sarah a great opportunity
TO display the great range Of her art.
The acts as selected were from Ham
let" LA Dame aux Camelas" (Camille)
Il Aiglon' and "Frou- Frou." and in each
Bernhardt was entirely different.
From some points OF view a performance
such as given yesterday was disappointing
as naturally 1t was bit disjointed but so
far as demonstrating the ability OF the
actress nothing could have been better
as IL gave the audience an opportunity to
get very fair idea OF the manner In
which she handles the different cbarac-
ters she portrays in each OF the entire
plays.
Undoubtedly the most unsatisfactory of
the four acts was the first given-that OF
"Hamlet-but. OF course I'm this the oues-
uon OF sex must be considered. Mime
Bernhardt taking male part. la Dame
aux Camelias' pleased nightly as did
Il Aiglon," but 10 many "Frou- Frou"
was considered the very best. as there
was delightful bit OF comedy that seem
cd TO be Unexpectedly found I'm BERN
hardt and was exceptionally we'll done.
In commenting upon the general display
of dramatic power by Nine. Bernhardt
little can be said other than the highest
praise. She is the most wonderful woman
OF the age I'm many respects and when age
is compared with physical looks, N ouch a
comparison can be made. she is still more
wonderful Her diction is pure and her
articulation faultless and her gestures
and every movement a picture.
All In all it was wonderful perforn-
ance and will long be remembered bv
those who witnessed II.
The supporting company was individu-
ally excellent In every respect and each
character was well placed, which gave
rise TO snoothness OF action I'm each
OF the acts and brought deserved credlt
90 each member OF the company.
