Mme Sarah Bernhardt, who is sup- posed to be something of an artist as well as an actress, was recently call- ed upon in one of her marvelouscre• tions to enact the role of a sculptor. and to model a certain bust in view of the audience. This fairly electrified the critics, but when going into rhap- sodies over the technical skill in han- dling the clay which Mme. Bernhardt exhibited they showed that they knew little of the artistic tricks of actors and actresses; as a matter of fact, she does nothing of the kind. The bust Is modeled and baked, and over It Is placed damp clay of the lame color. This the talented actress merely pulls off, exposing the beautifully modeled head underneath.
