Nine Sarah Bernhard. who is sup
posed to be something of an artist as
well as an actress. was recently called
upon in one Of her marvellous crea.
tons to enact the role of sculptor.
and to model a certain bust In view of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap-
sodies over the technical skill in han
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhard
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as matter of fact. she
does nothing of the kind. The bust
is modelled aud baked, and over 1t is
placed damp clay of the same color
This the talented actress merely pulls
off. exposing the beautifully modelled
head underneath.
