SARAH BERNHARDI, THE WON


When Shakespeare wrote Of the sew
en- ages Of man, laying down the die
tum that "one man in his time plays
many parts" it is fair to infer that
he had no intention to leave the i'm
preston that woman did not play
full share OF parts on LIES stage.
Woman, too, plays many parts be-
tween the cradle and the grave, and in
her sphere picks up quite as much ex-
perience as does her so-called liege
lord.
4 glittering example is Sarah Bern
hardt, called by ecstatic admirers the
divine" Madam Sarah is in the 6Sth
year Of her age, and is still young
enough TO be a newsboy CRYING her
wares on the public highways. Madam
Sarah has played many parts, literal
ly, for she is perhaps the best known
actress in the world having been be-
fore the public and Travelled around
the world almost continuously for 81
years. and playing in leading roles
from Iphigenie and Valerie 70 bur
lesCue. and from La Dame aux Came
las and Fedora 10 vaudeville, and from
Ia Tosca and Cleopatra 10 the movies.
A wonderful woman is Madam Sarah,
wonderfully talented, wonderfully YER
sati,e, wonderfully clever.
/ She was down in Salt Lake City last
week when news Of the Indiana and
Ohio foods and consequent disaster
and suffering and death reached that
city Her heart was touched as was
the heart OF the world. She could have
written a check for a thousand or two,
or she could have ordered a benefit
performance for the relief Of the dis
tressed. But Madam Sarah wanted TO
do something original, and, true 70 her
Instincts of art, something Theatre. In
carrying out this purpose she donned
a street gown aud went into the bust
ness section of the city-and sold
newspapers What French word she
used in place Of the familiar Extra"
or "Wuxtra," is not related in the dis
patches, but il is told of her that her
success was instantaneous and mark
ed. She kept the presses running long
after the regular editions were of
and sold papers by the thousand, all
records of Salt Lake City street sales
being smashed TO small fragmentary
atoms
Madam Sarah has played tragedy
and has raised vegetables, she has
painted pictures and written sonnets,
she has incurred fierce enmities and
INDUCED IN warm loves, she has tired
OF the regular theatre and sought
recreation in sketches in vaudeville
houses and has posed in pantomine
for the moving pictures. All and every
thing has been done we'll, exception,
ally well. eXCellently. And she is still
