SARAH BERNHARDT
Sta,—I read with great interest Sylvain Mayer's article " Sarah Bernhardt " in The Spectator of October 27th. This informing and instructing article is really a work of art. May I correct just a little error which happened to the author when he writes that Sarah Bernhardt never acted in Germany. She acted in Berlin, in Hamburg and several other places as Hamlet and Marguerite Gautier. I am sorry I am not able to give the exact date ; as far as I remember it was at the end of the last or in the early years of the present century. I think it useful to set this right, the more so as Sylvain Mayer gives the matter a political line. It is quite right that Sarah Bernhardt refused to visit Germany, saying "Remember 1870," but later on she changed her mind.—Yours faithfully, 13 Whitehorse Street, Baldock, Hens. JUSTIN STEINFELD.
