Nine. Sarah Bernhardt. who is sup
posed to be something of an artist as.
we'll as an actress, was recently call
ed upon in one of her marvellous crea-
tions to enact the role of sculptor.
and to model certain bust in view OF
the audience. This fairly electrified

ding the clay which Nine Bernhardt
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 and baked, and over it is.
placed damp clay of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls.
off. exposing the beautifully modeleG
head underneath.
