makeup she does IL with the languid
grace of one who has whole morning
to spend in her boudoir preparing for
the day. Meanwhile, she is talking TO
half a dozen friends and strangers, be-
traying in her conversation a keen
personal interest in them and appar-
entity with no thought Of herself or Of
the other acts of the drama that she
must go through with before the even
ing is over.
After the play IT takes her two or
three hours to let down from the ten
sion of the character she has por-
trayed-to become. as she says, Mime.
Bernhardt again. AS soon as she
takes off her makeup and gets into her
street clothes again she climbs into
her automobile, and, accompanied by
several friends, goes back TO her spe-
cial train. Others meet her there, and
