SARAH BERNHARDT
WORLDS GREATEST
ACTRESS Is DEAD
Worlds Greatest Actress
Quietly Drifted Away Mon
day Evening-Messages of
Sympathy Came From Every
Section With Expressions of
Grief.

Paris, Mar. 26.-Sarah Bernhardt
died peacefully in the arms of her
son, Maurice, at one minute before
eight o'clock tonight. In life she had
an amazing power of emotion, of
marvellous realism and pathos in her
acting OF death scenes. At the end of
her days she quietly drifted away
into eternity, tired after her long
fight against death, which she did
not wish, but never feared.
Hope for the life OF the great ac-
tress had long since been abandoned.
and half an hour before she passed
away, those in attendance found her
sinking beyond recovery, though
knowing her recuperative powers. IL
was thought she might live through
out the night.
Nine. Bernhardt died in large room
on the second floor of her home with
windows wide open on the boulevard
to which she was accustomed. ID
was the sudden closing of the win
dows, opened on the finest dav Of
spring, that gave the signal to those
waiting and watching without that
Bernhard was dead.
Death Due To Uraemie Poison.
Death was due to a renewed at
tack of uraemic poisoning, which be-
gan Friday, but the actress astonished
her phys'cisns by her repeated rallie.
and her will to live, just as she did
last December when hope had sew
eral times been abandoned. A priest
was summoned hurriedly in the after
noon when symptoms Of the gravest
nature supervened, but Bernhardt
rallied and regained luc;d'ty. The
priest administered extreme JUNCTION.
which she acknowledged with faint
movements of the hands and head too
weak to speak.
AZ The Death Bed.
The window of Edmond Rostand,
whose fame Is liked with that of
Bernhardt's grandson, NJ. Groose
Bernhardt, and the poets son, Maui
rice Rostand, were at the bedside,
brought the first flowers into the
death chamber-Mauve and white IL
lacs. Flowers came from many
friends quickly, and soon the room
was heaped with them. those from
the family and dearest friends being
placed on the bed.
Last Roll Never Filled.
Bernhardt's last stage role, In
Sacha Gu'try's play 'Un Subject De
Roman" was never filled; she in
sisted she would appear, but the doc
tors and her family interferred and
prevented her. Her last appearance
was in the motion picture made in
her home, which remains unfinished.
Three score and one years on the
stage did not fill her life; she found
time to see her many friends and
always seeking something more to
do.
Her Last Years.
The loss of her right leg at the be-
ginning of the war caused her to
limit movements on the stage, but
did not hinder her appearances. She
took her misfortune bravely. played
for the soldiers end used to the ut
most her wonderful voice, which
seer,ed rever to tire; orly of late
years aad it begun TO los, something
Of its marvellous quality. Her in
ability .C walk well and the increas-
ing disabilities of age of late great
ly restricted her stage roles, and lat
terly she has appeared only seated.
