Connor has established beyond a doubt that Sarah Bernhardt is a greater genius than Laurette Taylor. Tay-lor. According to Mr. Hammond, this point was clearly established during a recent controversy between Mr. Connor and George C. Tyler concerning con-cerning the relative merits of their stars. , "Laurette Taylor is not only the greatest actress act-ress of her time," asserted Mr. Tyler, "but the greatest genius." "Not so," declared ,Mr. Connor. "Sarah Bern hardt is the world's greatest genius, and here is a document in evidence." Mr. Connor produced a cable message, reading: read-ing: "I have received, my dear William, the forty thousand dollars. Please, at once, send me twenty thousand more. With love, Sarah." "Did she get it?" inquired Mr. Tyler. "She did," answered Mr. Connor. "Then," said Mr. Tyler, "she is." |
