News Of the death and reviews of
the life Of Sarah Bernhard hold a
prominent place in newspapers
throughout the world today. The
death Of this noted woman is a topic
Of discussion, oral and written, the
world over. No other woman Of the
stage was so widely known as Mime.
Bernhardt, and it is no doubt true
that no other actress OF any time was

ing brings a sense Of deep regret to

a great actress and an otherwise re-
markable woman. 1t has been said of
her by men acquainted with history of
the drama, and who have compared
and analysed accounts of those wom-
en- who achieved fame in the theater
during the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries, that she was the actress
supreme. This is probably a just esti-
mate It is significant that since the

stage agreed that Nine. Bernhardt
was the greatest Of actresses. She
could simulate all the emotions and
make them appear real. She had a
voice of remarkable mellowness, fiexi.
bility and expressiveness. She was
magnetic and highly intelligent. The
lines of great writers never suffered
by her delivery of them.
Although her fame was founded on
her work as an actress that fame ex-
panded far beyond the theater and
things associated with the playhouse,
She was. a Frenchwoman known TO
and almost Historically praised by the
French people for her patriotism,
charity, French spirit and absorption
in the ideals of her race. She was
known to most persons throughout the
world who read newspapers and books
for her vivid and daring personality,
her splendid zeal in any interest that
engaged her and her brave contempt
for the Ills which age brought to her.
