The COMING OF
SARAH BERNHARDT

Inc coming engagement Of Nine.
Sarah Bernhard at Jackson's Theatre
next Monday evening. Jan. e is an
event which no serious patron Of the
drama can help regarding as unique
in its present vital Importance to all
those who admire genius and rever-
ence art. That this may be. as 1t
most probably will be. the farewell ap-
pearance Of that famous and truly
great French actress upon the local
future seasons. makes 1t peculiarly no
table. The art of Bernhard has been
not simply the pride OF the French
stage Of the last half century. but has
been as well. one Of the priced posses
sions Of the English and American
footlights. her various tours having
stamped the influence Of her wonder
full acting upon International recogni-
ton to a degree that has rarely been
attained by foreign genius in the his
tory of the drama. Age has not with

ways in the lead. Perhaps her pub
lished eccentricities. her much adver-
tised fads and peculiarities. have some
times interfered with the clearer view
Of her undeniable greatness as an act
ress. Early in her stage career she
suffered almost as much as she gained
by this constant "reclame"-as the
French style this public blooming"
But above all. it is beyond contradic-
ton that Madame Bernhard has BEEN
and is one Of the worlds accepted

In France she has represented
through many peerless seasons Of un-
diminished achievement all the best
traditions of Its stage. Despite her
quarrels in her younger years with the
conventional ideas Of the Theatre
Francois. she really inherited from her
illustrious tutors the most solid tradi-
tons Of French dramatic classicism,
and in her superb first triumph as
Phedra she took to herself the abso-
lutte succession Of Rachel-before her
the dominating genius Of the Gallo
theatre. Like Rachel. Bernhardt has
been all fire and passion. Yet while
Rachel could be tigerish and panther
like in her moods. the temperament Of
Bernhard has subtly thrilled through
the whole range Of feminine emtional-
ism from the soft accents and serpent
like siren aspects to the fierce throb-
bings of passion that foundsuch SEN
sational expression in the melodramas
Of Sardou and have made the names
OF the great French actress and the
