Hampden Says That Sarah Bernhardt Was Greatest Exponent * Since Rachel

By WALTER HAMPDEN Famous Shakespearean Actor. The passing of sarah BERNHARDT has removed the greatest exponent since Rachel of the French traditional drama. It is impossible to compare the French genius with an exponent of the AngloSaxon as typified by Ellen Terry because Bernhardt’s art was more highly wrought and artificially finished and had not tne same spontaneity and natural vitality of the English tra ditlon. Nevertheless, it was very wonderful and made upon my mind a most profound impression. I was privileged to see her play a number of /parts while she was still in full enjoyment of her powers. The first play I saw her in was “Izeyl,” and after that I saw her in “Hamlet,” “La Tosea" with Coquelin and “Phedre-L’Aiglon," “Camille” and “Cyrano.’ the last also with the great Coquelin. 1 liked her best as La Tosea, Phedre and Camille. In “La Tosea” her comedy and light touches in the first scene were most delightful and her latest scenes of jealousy and passion were extraordinary in their intensity and power. In “Cyrano” she had very little opportunity as Roxane, but nevertheless was most charming. Her Hamlet was very graceful and full of illuminating touches and novel stage business, but was not a Hamlet to appeal to an Anglo Saxon audience. Her Camille was wonderful, but in this part I liked Modjeska better. Hampden Has One Regret in His Memory I regret having seen her in her last appearance here a few years ago as it was pathetic. Only the indomitable will and artificial stage technique remained. Sarah Bernhardt was undoubted" a great artist, a great personality and a great figure. Her gift of voice, clear and varied diction, expressive and graceful body, bad been brought to the highest pitch if development by the careful training of the French school, so that she was fitted to play with a grace, ease and power quite beyond the ability of most actresses of the preset day. She had an ndoubted influence upon me and must have had on any one of artistic temperament who saw her before she failed. Her will and capacity to work, her perseverence and tremendous love of life were an essential part of the influence she imparted to all those with whom she came in contact. She has undoubtedly taken a foremost place in the history of the drama throughout the world. (Editor’s Note —Mr. Hampden has arrived here to begin rehearsals of an adaptation of Browning’s "The Ring and the Book,” to be presented at the Murat on April 5. On the
