Sarah Bernhardt Racing With Death in Effort to Complete Farewell Drama for Movies\ — Famous Actress Has Presenti ment Knd Is Near—Wishes Picture to Clear Debts and Aid Son. _, i (l«inri||lit, 1922. International Sews Nervier.) Paris, March I*.—Raring with death Mine. Sarah Hernlmrdt in engaged on the last dramatic appearance of her life—in the movie. Day by day Mine. Bernhardt is weakening—her vitality is ebbing under Ihe ravages of the illnesh which is claiming her life. But Mine. Bernhardt does not wor ry over her own physical condition. She merely shrugs her shoulders and murmurs: "It cannot he helped.” ' Her hopes are borne up by the fact that perhaps the film which she is leaving her son, Maurice, will go a long ways towards assisting him financially and towards- paying off the debts which she herself contract ed through bad business ventures. Presentiment of Death. Even Mrne. Bernhardt herself has the presentiment of death and ehe bids her attendants hurry as though she feared that the dread black wing ed angel should appear before the picture is finished. The "projection room." as the pic ture photographic chamber is called, has been installed in Mme. Bern hardt’s own home. She chose Beon Abrams of New .York to organize and direct the company which will exhibit her "farewell." Abrams is hastening the filming of the picture at breakneck speed In or der to get It completed before Mme. Bernhardt's health gets so bad she cannot appear at all, even in the ’’movies.” The doctors are most secretive about Mme. Bernhardt’s condition. Only the parking of two motor trucks with cinema paraphernalia revealed the fact that moving pictures were being taken in an improvised studio In her home. Eyes Arc Blight. A reporter for Internationa! News Service managed to gain entrance to the house. There he found Mme. Bernhardt acting with all her old \erve beneath the glass top of her conservatory. Her eve* were bright, her cheeks flushed w.tii feverish in terest. Hut the most interesting thing of all was the awe with winch stage hinds and conservatory laborers beheld her. The word was w hispered around: "The madame comes." Instantly cigarets were cast under foot and trampl I into the ground. I (4 Sarah E>cr£<K/vi>£/r Coats were flung into the air to carry off the tobacco smoke and hats were held in hand. With the regal air of queendom Mme. Bernhardt entered. Only the perfume of rose and vio lets filled the air as Mme. Bernhardt began on the “final farewell' of her life. Mme. Bernhardt, on her appear ance Friday, wore a blue morning wrap with tong sleeves, the dainjy ruffles covering long, white hands with the blue veins showing on the surface. There was a visible tremble as she liegan. The face was yellow with cracked, parchment-like skin. Madame Bern hardt is old and she does not attempt to cheat nature by making up. "It Is too much to lie; too much exertion," declared the famous act ress. Mme. Bernhardt, even a year ago, did not show her age so much as she does today, because of the Illness which has drawn her skin. The farewell play in which Sarah appears Is called “Bavoyante.” It is the story of a paralyzed fortune teller iivmg in Mont Marte in an attic with only a trained chimpanzee for a com panion and Jacquelin. a woman ser vant who cares for the apartment and feeds the monkey. The scenes are most difficult, re quiring constant repetition but never once has Mme. Bernhardt shown any I signs of Irritation. The deafness of the actress re quired much additional work and she 1 seemed worried over the annoyance it caused her director. But signs of annoyance were short lived, as she was usually smiling at the New York accent of Mr. Abrams’ French. 500 Dav-Old Chicks in Mail Safely Delivered Through Deep Drifts r !
