In her youth she un- doubtedly was what might be called beautiful, although from the Frenc} standpoint her slimness was against jher. The greatest interest in the ac- tress, aside from her art, was thi | tenacity with which she clung to |her girlish appearance. At 75 she might have passed for a woman of 30, so well had the features of her | younger days been preserved. Bernhardt seems to have had n disillusions about. her personal ap- | pearance. By themselves her features |—high cheek bones, aquiline nose, {and lips parted above an almost mas culine chin—were not pleasing, but taken together they comprised the |harmony of expression whieh gave |her the title of “the divine Sarah. | She admitted oneone occasion that the leffect of her long white face emerg ing from a long black sheath was |by no means pleagant. “In this’ rig | I look like en ant,” she said.
