These words were written in 1879
by Sarah Bernhardt in the visitors
book of the French hospital in Lon
don. Today, the Divine Sarah made
good her promise-thirty-three years
later In London theater she gave
a benefit performance for the French
hospital and also Charing Cross hos

Much money was obtained for the

not said that about New York yet.
Twelve years ago David Warfield
left the rough and tumble work with
Weber and Fields to cast his lot with
David Belasco. The public came:
they saw Warfield, and-Warfield
conquered. 1t was twelve years aeo
that tears were first blended with
smiles and smiles were cut short with
tears in following "Simon Levi" in
"The Auctionecr." Now Warfield ID
back on Broadway as Simon Levi"
With him has come also the same
smiles and the same tears. Warfield's
triumph is as great and as complete
as 1t was on his first appearance in
this homely play which tells the story
of the old Hester street second hand
merchant. In the twelve years which
has been star he has created but
four characters. They are Simon
Levi in the "The Auctioneer;" "An-
ton Won Barwig" in "Ths Music Mas
teri" Yves Bigelow," in "A Grand
Army Man." and the aged horticul-
turist" in "The Return Of Peter
Grimm" AS Peter Grimm" came
back after death SO has Warfisld's
"Simon Levi" returned to ths Old
generation and is living for the new.
The character of Simon Levi" has
not changed in the broad sense. But
after twelve years there is found a
finer shading, and stronger appeal.
After seeing Warfield in the revival
OF The Auctioneer" there is little
reason to wonder why he has created
SO few characters. Each one Of the
four he has created stands out a. .
masterpiece. The public clines to
them, demands them, and warfisld
is bound from presenting others by
his self-made yoke.
To make room for David Warfield
in "The Auctioneer" David Belaseo
moved "A Tempermental Journey
from the Belasco theatre to the Re-
/, public. The move was only four
squares but it proved to b. . T.
