Nine. Sarah Bernhar6t has beyond
reasonable question, been seen for the
last time upon the American stage. In
other days this fact would have por-
tent of a greater loss to her legion
OF admirers than now-for the NOV
ing picture has entered to perpetuate
the glories of Bernhardt's art.
The cables have told how the FAM
Gus tragedienne was forced to abb
ruptly close her theater in Paris,
while she was appearing in Jeanne
Dore," to undergo the perils of
surgical operation. When she was
discharged one of her lower limbs
had been amputated and her recourse
to an artificial support was under
taken.
Great as she has even been, she
has found the substitute an uncon-
querable deterrent to the complete re-
turn of her stage usefulness; she had
previously been able to cunningIy imi-
tate lameness, but she has found it
far more difficult to impersonate loco
motion upon an artificial support.
During her last trip to America,
when she was going the rounds Of the
vaudeville theaters, her lameness was
then noticeable; she was continually
supporting herself upon the back of
a chair, or leaned heavily against
some article of furniture whenever
she was upon her feet.
Her expressions of emotion were
then confined principally to panto-
mine, to facial delineations or to ex-
planatory shrugs of the Bernhardt
shoulders. Little matter whether one
could understand the language she
spoke on any of her tours of America
there was the wonderful gift of
pantomine to tell the story and ex-
press the extremes of her emotion.
For all vast majority of her au-
ditors were able to discover, Bern
hardt might as well have acted a si-
lent drama-and, accordingly, in pic
tured pantomine her "silent drama
of Jeanne Dore" will serve almost
as fully the desire of the average
person to "see" Bernhardt as though
the wonderful French woman were
here in the flesh.
The camera has translated the

Louis Mercanton from the play, by
Tristan Bernard, which Mime. Bern
hardt was acting at the time she was
forced to leave the stage of her own
theater, in Paris to undergo the surg
ical operation that bereft her of a
lower limb
In brief, the story is as follows:
Jeanne Dore's prof1igate husband is
hopelessly addicted to gambling, and
is threatened with expulsion from his
club because of his heavy indebted
ness to another gambler member.

posed of her gems and with the
money thus obtained he goes to his
club, determined to pay his debts and
live up to the pledge he has made to
his wife to gamble no more.
However, the lure of the roulette
wheel overcomes his resolve; he loses
all his money on "just one more turn
of the wheel" and, rather than face
his disgrace, commits suicide. Left
with her young son to support, Jeanne

possessions and lives as best she san

Most actresses are fond Of animals,
but the dumb creatures seldom find
so ardent and admirer as they have IN

she goes; and in her travels, nothing

she usually has a parrot and a
monkey, a few chameleons and posi-
bly, a lion, tiger or other wild animal,
for these untamed beauties are her
especial delight.
No matter what the condition Of her
pocketbook, there is one thing Sarah
Bernhardt has always insisted upon,
and that is artistic surroundings.
This principle is beautifully carried
out in her theater, where her own
apartment is as near to an actress
ideal Of loneliness and convenience al
it is possible to attain. Speaking Of
it, Nine. MacLean said;
Sarah has a suite of several rooms
including her dressing room, an ante
room and solid silver bath. Besides
these, there is a magnificent room
that is filled with all the gifts that

of the manifold possibilities in photo

Sarah Bernhard was married once,
but not until long after the time when
most girls take unto themselves a
husband. The man whom she decreed
to honor by linking her name to his
was Nj. Damala, a Greek Of high
standing. He was a count, and the
son of a banker.
During Bernhardt's first tour Of
America, NJ. Damala was in constant
evidence, admitted to the Coincide
FranCAise. But ties of this kind are
likely to become irksome to a genius,
and Bernhardt soon grew tired of the
matrimonial yoke. An intimate friend
who knew all of the facts in the case
was telling the writer about it not
long ago.

Bernhard finally said, 'Damala, you'll
have to goy
"And so he left. But he evidently
did not get over the blow, for he wan
dered around aimlessly for a while,
and finally became i'll and very poor.
Sarah never had any unkind feel
ing for him--she simply did not want
him to be her husband. But he was
very much in love with her.
Zone day Benhardt heard that Da-
mala was living in the greatest pow
erty in a garnet in Paris. She was
grieved at the thought, for she is
very tender hearted, and Immediately
went to see him. And before coming

One day he falls suddenly ana VIC
lently in love with a married woman
who comes to his mothers shop to
make purchases. An intrigue with
the INSCRIPTIONS female leads the
young man to murder the same uncle
who had befriended himself and
mother. Going FIST to his mother
with an appeal for money to give
to his married sweetheart, the young
man meets prompt refusal.
In desperation he seeks financial
help from his uncle, and when the
old man makes some disparaging re-
marks about the woman who has
brought the boy to such foolish ex-
tremes, the youth kills his uncle and
with the assistance of Jeanne Dore,
makes good his escape. Well clear of
immediate capture, the boy comes
back to the scene Of mis- CRIME and
succeeds in his effort to once more
affect liaison with his mistress.
By accident he is discovered and
captured, thrown into Jail, is tried
and convicted of the murder and sent
enced to the guillotine. Even in these
desperate straits he seeks to gain
some response to his affection from
the woman, who promptly spurned
and repudiated him. He prevails upon
his devoted mother to become a mes
senger in his service and her appeals
likewise fall upon deaf ears.
Instead Of telling the boy that her
quest has been fruitless, Jeanne Dore
goes to the prison herself, on the eve
ming before the boys neck is to be
given to the knife, and poses as the
woman he had expressed himself, to
his own mother, as the one he most
wished to see.
There is but one end to the story.
The boy goes to the guillotine and the
final scene depicts the devoted mother
in the extreme agony of watching
from a window across the street, the
execution of her son.
The details of the story are so in
tensely tragic that no less an artist
than Bernhard could portray the
mother role; no less a mistress of
pantomine and facial expression could
depict before the camera the fullness

If it were not known that she was

no attempt made to hamper the
