Death was caused by pneumonia. A cold, contracted Sunday, devel- oped into pneumonia. He had been under the constant care of a physi- cian and two nurses since Monday morning. RBernard had appeared in nearly 50 productions and was well known | in the profession as a Hebrew com- cdian before 1913 when he became | prominent in “Potash and Perimut. ter” which ran for several years on Broadway and the road.
