REST: French Actress Sarah
Bernhardt. who was the toast
of Paris. once decided to escape
from her admirers for q few
days. Under an assumed name
she registered at q country inn
and settled down to a week end
of undisturbed rest. She warned
the management that under no
circumstance was her presence
to be disclosed.
The Divine Sarah reached
her room without being noticed.
With q sigh Of relief she sank
into q chair. For the next two
hours she enjoyed a tranquility
she had not experienced in
years.
Then boredom began to set
In. What was she doing here.
by herself--she. the leading
actress Of France? Why hadn't
the local dignitaries called on
her to pay her homage? Why
was the management deliber-
ately concealing her presence?
The quiet became ,unbeaf-
able. At last the actress could
endure 1t no longer. Opening
the door she stuck her head
and screamed Fire /" at the
top Of her voice. In q moment
her room was filled with people.
