whose dolnes must be embalmed in
local history or even if It were a case
of regular actor or actress I had to
report, this story would resolve itself
Into the rut-like channels hewn out and
prescribed for interviewers by the
Medes and Persians. There would be
' 10,000 ways to begin and fill in and
wind up the accounting. The only
trouble would be the eliminating
process.
But in this particular interview
every word is as precious as if it were
bringing me in so much per. And the
great difficulty is knowing Just where
to begin.
Probably at the beginning to follow
the rules laid down In "The Correct
."Way to Write a Story," compiled by
'someone who never had a story ac'
cepted.
First of all, then, this accounting
Is a composite of three interviews.
Two of them were held in Madame
Bernhard't dressing-room. The last
one was yesterday. Just following her
act at the Orpheum, when she gra
'ciously consented to have her photo
graph made alongside the bronze like'
"ness of a particularly beloved woman
of Oregon, history Sacajawea.
Leading Hu Pares Way.
If I were an analyst, or a student
of psychology, rather than a mere
newspaper woman, right here would be
"written a lengthy and learned disserta
tion in comparisons and differences a
study of the woman Bernhardt and the
woman Sacajawea. Someone in the
little party yesterday almost started
such a discussion by comparing the
marvelous strength and beauty of the
Divine Sarah's profile as it stood,
cameo-like, against the gray stone of
the statues base, with the splen
did youth and rugged charm of the
Indian mother." It got no further than
a mere mentioning. However, it would
provide food fof discussion.
When I broached the subject of her
posing with our statue it was through
iiadame's twenty-eight-year-old lead
ing man, the handsome half French,
half Greek Lou Tellegren. He chats
with ease in a half dozen languages,
one of which happened to be mine.
Madame's first query Is Invariably
"Do you speak French?" and being as
sured usually In nine cases out of ten
that a working knowledge of that
language is not numbered among the
accomplishments of the average news
paper person, Madame speaks then with
a rare, slow smile and a deprecating
shake of the bronze-crowned head. She
says:
"I do not spik verra gooo-od Ang
lace," and she says it slowly, with
pauses between each word, ending with
musical rush of non-non-nons.
Sarajawea Not Unknown to Her.
M. Tellegren then, to revert to our
muttons, heard me out in my plea for
him to ask the wonder woman if she
would pose for the picture. Of all
the words Madame caught only Sac
ajawea. Her wonderful face lighted
and she spoke rapidly in French, mak
ing occasional gestures, and turning
her big yellow eyes In my direction
occasionally. I gleaned that she was
telling M. Tellegren that Sacajawea
was not unknown to her. And so it
turned out. She not only knew all
that there is to- be known about the
Indian guide of Lewis and Clark, but
she wanted to see the statue. - The way
I sneaked into the conversational
breach just then ought to get me a
raise from the M. E. Hurriedly grab
bing from their pigeonhole in my
memory some of the advertising data
I had collected in reading accounts of
the Lewis and Clark Fair, I recited
glibly all that I could recollect of the
statue's- history. Patiently M. Telle
gren sent it on. Madame smiled, hesi
tated and smiled again. Then she said
she'd pose, "eef," she stipulated, "zere
ees no crowd."
Artist Makes Word Play.
I assured, her there would not be, if
The Oregonian had to send all the
force as guards. She decided that Sat
urday afternoon, following the mati
nee, would be her best opportunity.
Then suddenly she bethought herself.
"What eft zero ees not " she broke
Off to finish in French. M. Tellegren
said that Madame was wondering if it
would be light enough.
"Tell her," I said bravely, assuming
all the responsibilities of the whole
paper, "that if she will only pose for
the picture The Oregonian will furnish
the light."
"O-a-h." cooed the golden voice,
when the message was duly delivered,
"you mean ze papalr make light. Not
of Bernhardt, I hope," and she smiled
as roguishly as a schoolboy. So that
Is the how and why of the accompany:
lng photographs.
When Madame Bernhardt was ready
to leave her dressing-room yesterday
her big limousine all bound 'round
with a curious crowd was at the door.
I've read of it often mob rule but I
never saw It so exemplified as yester
day. Men, women and children in a
highly developed condition of hero
worshipitls glued their eyes on Madame
Bernhardt's face, ejaculating and jab
bering like so many apes elbowing
her escorts and following her to the
very steps of the automobile. Those
standing close flattened their noses
against the glass doors and vivisected
the physical woman
used to read
that she avoids crowds.
Now I don't
wonder.
All the way to the City Park Madame
commented on the scenery admiring
the trees mostly. She told her best
friend and interpreter, M. Tellegren, to
say that It seemed as If Oregon Nature
had been especially kind today because
she was going to have her picture
taken with our famous statue and had
sent a sun-kissed day.
Sua Earaprnres Actress.
"Ah, I love the sun" Madame Bern
hardt made an all-embraoing gesture,
as if she would hold close to her the
great yellow glow.
Manner Is the supreme gift of the
woman, Bernhardt. It is a fine and
complete manner, never too effusive, for
that would imply insincerity, and not
too reserved either, for that must en
tail a charge of coldness, not to say
haughtiness. Her manner is rather a

blending of real sweetness and won
drous dignity, of good breeding with a
kind heart the whole flavored with
that splendid distinction which only
the truly great ever really displays.
In the carriage Madame leaned back
imii.fiiilv and surveyed the fast pass
ing landscape. She wore a deep violet
velvet gown with a small close-fitting
toque of the same tone, wound about
with a curling feather of violet. Her
coat was a big. warm traveling wrap
of gray, with huge patch pocnets ana
beautifully made.
Her boots were of the walker's va
riety, with stout soles and strong. For,
in common with a lot of Oregonians
who will send her heartfelt understand
ing, Madame has touches of rneuma
tism In her knees, and wards it off as
much as possible by keeping her feet
warm and her ankles protected.
Age Is Forgotten.
Whether she Is sixty and nine or
sixteen and nine one forgets In being
with the marvelous Bernhardt. She
has demoralized barriers of the most
elemental sort. She seems a being from
another world than that of mere mor
tal a sort of wanderer into human
experiences from a fairyland. She need
not strive to please. She cannot help
it. She is too Intensely human, too
well endowed with a sense of humor to
be pompous. She harmonizes a grace
that is wholly feminine and delightful
to see with a dignity that is royal.
Her rare smile is of the allegiance
seducing sort. Her mere mode of ex
tending her wonderful hands is reality
transposed into another atmosphere, as
if viewed In a mirror, in which all their
lovely outlines become more gracious
to us.
And. oh! the glory of her voice! She
speaks with a liquid articulation of
every syllable, as one who delights in
the savor of the word upon her tongue,
enhancing them with an- expressive
force and a musical beauty not to be
found In the word Itself. -
The Bernhardt face undergoes less
changes than one might naturally ex
pect. It is only her "correct imitators"
who run their eyebrows into their hair
and slobber their Jargon.
Features Are Distinctive.
Her wonderful mouth, with its curv
ing red lips and delicious corners, is

unchanged. She holds her head, with
eyes half closed, as If she were inhal
ing some rare perfume. At moments
her eyes reveal perfectly all their hyp
notic power. At these times they
gleam like patches of fbpaz yellow vel
vet flecked with powder of pure gold.
Again they laugh a wide open, frank
laugh, too.
And when she is serious and talking
to any of her French companions or
employes her eyes transfix like an ar
row sent home. So eloquent are they
that she need never formulate a wish
in words. One look is a whole superb
sentence. For the contentment of a lot
of bromides who "know what they
know," who call Madame Bernhardt by
her first name and say they didn't go
see her because they heard she was so
old and feeble, be it said that at close
range she Is far better groomed and
prserved than any dame of 60 that I
know of. (I hate the word "pre
served" as much as you do, but there
is none other to use in this connec
tion.) Madame Bernhardt uses little or no
makeup for the stage. , She does not
bead her lashes, a trick the most un
pretentious and embryo chorus girl Is
an adept in. Madame lengthens the
eye by a tiny application' at each cor
ner. She uses very little rouge, not
a great deal of powder and only rice
powder at that, and nothing but a light
dusting of powder on her snowy white
arms and hands.
"What do you do to your skin to
keep it so lovely?" I begged through
the Interpreter, M. Tellegren.
"Scrubbs ammonia," said Madame.
"Scrub with ammonia?" I said.
"Ah, non, non, non," laughed
Madame, then In rapid-Ore French she
told M. Tellegren and he told me, that
Scrubbs is the name of the gent who
makes it in Paris. It isn't to be had
in America, ss this Is no free adver
tising. 4
You might get It by parcel post,
however, sisters-in-the-wild-chase-for-youth.
I asked Madame if she approved of
smoking and she said in French: "For
others, yes. For myself, only occa
sionally. It Is bad for the voice."
Women in Office Not Favored.
Then we took up suffrage. Madame
Bernhardt does not approve of It in

PART OF CROWD THAT WAITED
its active, virulent form. . "Women
should vote, yes, but not hold office -or
engage in pursuits that make them
masculine."
Madame never wore a corset In her
life, but does not recommend a cor
setless life for all women. The fat
ones need some restriction, she says.
Madame Bernhardt does not carry
a coffin about with her. It is in
Paris, in a room set apart. And after
all, why not? She is not a mystic and
in religious faith is a Catholic, al
though her mother was of the Jewish
faith. Her mother was Holland Dutch
and her father French. Maurice Bern
hardt. Madame's son, has a grand
daughter 2 years old. Get that
straight. It is that Madame Is great
grandmother to a 2-year-old.
I asked Madame why she blew her
nose so realistically in each play. Her
Interpreter asked her and, with a ges
ture toward her lovely eyes Madame
answered, not in French, "When I kies
I blow. Always, I kies." Meaning that
she cries and that the handkerchief
attention naturally follows.
Madame Real Witty.
Madame Bernhards aptitude for
conversation is surprising. There's a
wit, a playfulness, a solidity to her
learning that reveals itself constantly.
They spring naturally and brilliantly
out of her talk. Always her fellow
players are laughing with Bernhardt
and her side remarks send them Into
gales of mirth.
Arrived .t the park she was like a
schoolgirl. She laughed aloud. And
wha,t d'ye suppose were the final words 1
of her interview?
"Don't forget to send me one of the
Sacajawea pictures to Sacramento,"
called through her handsome mouth
piece, M. Tellegren. And, believe me,
I won't.

BILL TO ADD SUPREME JUS
TICES GIVES OPENING.
Measure Kcanirlnz Common Car
riers to Record Liquor Ship,
inents to Dry Towns Passes.
BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 1. (Special.)
"If the Justices of the Idaho Supreme
Court would devote more time to legal
matters and less to politics there would
be no occasion for increasing the num
ber of judges," declared Senator Edgin
ton today, during the debate on House
joint resolution No. 3, which provides
for the submission to the voters of the
constitutional amendment which pro
vides for five Supreme Judges instead
of three, as at present.
Edgington's declaration came as a
climax to a lively debate over the res
olution in the committee of the whole.
The echo of his words had not died
away before a number of the Senators
were applauding his sentiments. The
opposition to the measure by Edging
ton, backed by Fields, Dunning, Mac
Beth, Fairchild and Baldridge, finally
resulted In a motion to postpone fur
ther consideration of the resolution
until later, allowing the resolution to
retain its place on the calendar.
Haight's local option bill, the princi
pal feature of which is the requirement
that common carriers shall keep a
record of all shipments of alcohol and
Intoxicating liquors shipped Into "dry"
territory, passed the Senate today and
will be transmitted to the lower
Houso for ratification as soon as en
grossed. An emergency measure
granting relief to the .school children
of new counties was also passed under
suspension of the rules, while two
Senate bills were virtually slaughtered
in the committee of the whole.
The House did not meet today, con
fining its efforts to committee work.
