“Madame Sarah" Reviewed For Community Club By Beatrice F. Seahobn Members and guests of the Walkerton Woman’s Community Club heard Mrs. Aril Hunter give an outstanding review vs “Madame Sarah" «n Friday, February 21. Sarah Bernhardt was not merely a uniquely ’amous actress, but like royalty was a presence whose very name evoked magic around the world. In "Madame Sarah", Cornellia Otis Skinner, a distinguished actress as well as author, has written a colorful story which brings to life the scandals, eccrntrh itlcs, the v..t and genius that made the great Bernhardt seem larger than life. Mrs. Hunter went on to t* 11 th t M mime Sai di Was hub i a- the eighth wilder of the world, the 1 greatest personality France had produced since Joan of Arc. Emperors knelt at her ‘»<t, Clowned heads lavished her wi h jewels, adoring mobs i llcctcd wherever she went. No a< tu s ever had more written abau m-, m<>re gossip told ib mt h* " • • nib re ecstatic praise or vi i licensure showered upon her. She herself once said. "1 am the nm ,t lied about woman in the wo. Id." Sarah Bernhardt was a genius, a collosal egotist, but it may w< II be said she was the greatest actress of her era. Throughout her marvelous career which lasted for more than 60 years Sarah passed as a beauty, yet her looks themselves could not have been a major factor in her success. Many people thought you couldn't even call Sarah g ">d looking. "Beauty with her.” they said, "was a garment she could put on or take off as she pleased." If it be true that ( Sarah Bernhardt was no beauty she could at least create the illusion of great beauty. She was ( fascinating as an actress moving with the grace of a panther Her , sense of timing was perfect and at the sound *»f her golden voice her critics were silenced.
