TR [T { NEW YORK, March 27.—In the dressing rooms of the white light district last night, before" half a hundred curtalns ascended upon as many varied performances, there was Incessant talk of Sarah Bernhardt, the “Divine Sarah,” who died in Parls Yyesterday. Producers, managers tragedians, comedians, singers, dancers, acrobats, tumblers—even grimy stage hands— tatked. Discussion of Bernhardt was no less profuse among the ambitlous ladies of the chorus than smong the &ctors and actresses exalted in their espcarean roles, and the con- Sonsus of her cotemporaries, high and low, was that she was never equaled and always would remain without peer. Joha Drew Affeeted. John Drew, dean of the American stage, fresh from the triumph of the testimonial dinner accorded him on the fiftieth anniversary of his Stepping on the stage, was deeply ected. “l knew her for thirty years was delighted In her friendship, sald. “I saw her in everything Played in, elther here or In Parls. We Wwere quite good friends and 1 mourn her loss, as every one else will” William F. Connor, who munaged the American tours of Mme. Bern- hardt in 1805, 1906 and 1910, sald “Too much cannot be sald in praise of her." Belasco Displays Emotion. David Belasco displayed much emo- tion when he learned of Bernhardt's passing. He grasped a photograph autographed by the French woman &nd sald it was the most priceless af his possessions. Ethel Barrymore placed Mme. Bern- hardt at the pinnacle of the profession, suying: “The people of the theater will miss a_great inspiration.” Jane Cowl Pays Tribute. Jane Cowl turned the applause meant rformance of “Romeo and " into a tribute for Bernhardt at the end of the third act, when, refusing the usual curtain calls, she grouped members of her company about her and asked the audience to apend a minute in meditation and prayer for the “Divine Saran.” Augustus Thomas characterized Mme, Bernhardt as the greatest actress of two generations. Her perserverance, he sald, carried her through te the finish of a career that seemed physcially im- possible. George M. Cohan added his tribute to the others, saying: “The present-day theater has lost the greatest figure the theater has had in any day.” BERNHARDT’S AID IN LOAN RECALLED Braved New Orleans Rain to Take Part in War Drive for Funds. By the Associated Press NEW ORLEANS, La., March 27.— Because of the large French speak- Ing population here there probably Wa# no city {n America where Sarah Bernhardt was more popular than in New Orleans. She was first seen here more than forty years ago. During her last engagement here she took part in a great parade ar- ranged by the liberty loan campaign committee. open carriage drawn by six white horses. The vehicle was covered with roses, and the bridles of the animals were decorated with plumes. With her rode her physician, Dr. Marcot. When the parade started, rain threatened, and her physiclan advis- ©d against the actress participating, but Bernhardt insisted on carrying out the program, remarking: “My soldiers in France are stand- ing knee-deep In blood and grime, and I shall ride in the parade if no one else does.” During her various visits here Mme. Bernhardt accompanied Capt. Louls Rapho, an expert hunter, on shooting excursions. On one of these trips she killed & large alligator and caught & smaller one, which she took with her in a cage on leaving the city. The large one she had mounted as a souvenir of her first alligator hunting expedition in this country. —_— BERNHARDT’S LIFE TRAGIC IN POVERTY (Continued from Fourth Page.) the humillation of bankruptcy. There was at the time little publicity at- tached to the matter, but when, a few years later, the legion of honor was bestowed on Mme. Bernhardt, the story was revived. According to the rule no person having un ergone public bankruptcy can receive the legion of honor and the French government was there- fore compelled to withdraw the honor.| Almost every one who knew Sarah Bernhardt has'some story to tell of her constant struggle with poverty. One morning before 8 o'clock she :fi‘ peared in a taxicab at the door of the curator of a small but famous Paris museum. “But monsieur is still in bed,” ex- claimed the horrified conclerge, “Will ‘madame come uj and responded > the tragedienne: “tell monsieur that he must come down to me.
