Sailing, After Her Fifth Farewell Tour, the Tragedienne Makes Some Pointed Observations. fiwrah Bernhardt, quee nof the stage, who in now on her way back to her native France after a series of appeamces in this country, gave /be fore sailing her \deas on America and Americans in a piquant and in structive ways Although sixty-seven, her popu larity was attested here by the fact that thousands were unable to secure admission to the theaters where she played. Here are few of her observa tions : "Since traveling In America I have greatly admired the honesty of Amer icans In the way they respect each other’s property. "In France, our homes and our windows are barricaded, and we near ly always have a , watchdog and a loaded revolver close at hand. Our windows have iron shutters, while our doors have patent locks and chains. "But what is more surprising than anything is the abandonment during hours and hours of bicycles, motor cycles and automobiles. “This is very interesting and very curious. In our country they steal everything. I know, of course, that there are the famous ‘Hands Up’ bands, but even this has a certain ARAH BERNHARDT, sixty-seven, who has made $170,000 profit from her tour of this country just ended. CABLE || NEWS Important Events Prom All Over the Old World Told in a Pew Short Linea. romance attached to It which In no way resembles the petty thefts of some other countries. “I have a great admiration for this American honesty. ... Her Ideas on the Moving Picture. “I am asked if I think moving pic tures prejudice the Interests of the theater and If It Is my opinion that they will be still more popular? “My very sincere opinion is that moving pictures are a rather ordi nary and cheap demonstration of pic torial art associated with the dra matic art. The pictures are like in different stories illustrated by bad pictures. The show is amusing for five .minutes, but in no way does it take the place of art. “I think moving pictures will be very prosperous, but they will ever remain second class.” * * • Asked her views on the latest dances, the Tango and, the Turkey Trot, she said: "These dances are abominable, re volting and improper. I can not un derstand how any one could permit such insanities to take place in their drawing rooms, yet not only do they permit them, but ynung girls of re spectable families assemble together to learn those dances. "The mothers are at fault. They should never permit such exhibitions. And why do they do it? They keep a young girl away from immoral sur roundings. choose her books, hide from her newspapers reporting ques tionable divorces or passionate crimes. “They keep a watch on her friend ships, they do everything in the world to keep her mind from being sullied, yet they let her. not only see, but actually take part in, a spectacle which is, more than any other, stripped bare of all modesty and de cency. “I have heard particular people se verely condemn the waltz when I was a girl. What would they say to-day?" What Rockefeller, Jr., Might Do. Of Rockefeller she said: "Monsieur Rockefeller, Jr., thinks that even ff one does try to protect poor girls there are many who would still become of questionable character through idleness. "I do not agree with Monsieur Rockefeller, Jr. I really think that unhappiness and poverty drive many wretched girls to vice. But I am persuaded that, if means to earn a livelihood were procured for poor girls, all of them would joyfully ac cept work. "And yet, one can not complain In America, for there are many less such women here than in France. Work is well rewarded, and the hours of work are ten times less heavy than in my country. Here the shops open late and close early. The girls in the stores take things easily; they chat among themselves and reply to cus tomers when it suits them. In France the jDoor shopgirls are treated like slaves. "Oh! if Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., could but find the right way to assist poor young girls as they venture out on life, humanity would not know now to thank him. But he will do nothing; neither he nor any other rich million aire who lives in this country. «They do a great many things, but not splen did humanitarian things; not grand actions of this sort.’’ The lack of taste displayed by some of our women called forth the follow ing remarks: "Really, I am sometimes amazed at the want of tact exhibited by some American women, "At the opening of the Los An geles opera, the public came in crowds to hear for the first time the delight ful and gfeat artist, Mary Garden. "The women had arrayed them selves in their most beautiful gowns and literally covered themselves with jewels. So far there was no harm, for all society women all over the world, whether European. American o^ savage, love to appear in public with the best they have in gowns, jewels and feathers. "One of the ladies, when getting cut of her carriage, pulled up her dress very high to allow admiration to expend itself—not on her leg, but her stockings, upon which diamonds and pearls were, embroidered. “I really considered this most doubtful taste and vulgar. But It was still worse than that. The lady stop ped, gathered her dress up carefully and held it with two fingers hnd re mained so. posing before the photog raphers in profile, then full face and always with the toe advanced and the limb uncovered. "I cast my eyes around to find her husband. I do not know if it was he who quietly stood behind her until the operation was finished, but I said to myself, in France, in Paris, that woman would have been hooted and jeered by the crowd witnessing the scene, and next day her husband would have had two or three duels on his hfinds for permitting it. "Now, although Paris women are considered in America to have little prudery and to be barefaced, I de clare that no society woman would ever have done such a thing as this. "But perhaps this woman was not a society lady, but only a millionair ess!” FIRE DESTROYS TOWN. BLUEFTELD, W.
