An Italian Journal, In commenting on
Mme, Sarah Bernhardt'a. recent appear
ance at a London music hall, explains
how it is that this great artist seems
always Jnneed of funds. Her money
Is literally at the disposal not only of
her : hear, and distant relations and
friends but even of people she does not
know, for her home Is open to all. At
one time she nerer entertained less than
'20 persons daily at dinner, and It Is
'related that Alexander Dumas, who was
one day of the number sitting at the
right hand of Mme. Bernhardt, asked
her: : 'WtU you kindly tell me the name
of your friend on ray left r "That Is
more than I can do." ' she said, "t of I

any play will be put together without

of the south, which will be made known
at the Heilig theatre, Seventh 'and Tay

both startling and sensational and yet
always within the bounds of possibility
and good taste. , One of the most sig

about by certain, racial conditions, Is the
frequency of lynching, and this side
of southern life Is depicted with what is
