Show l. Hariiliardt'a Superstition. Though Mme. Bernhardt alTeets not to believe in God, she is, nevertheless, exceedingly superstitious. The production pro-duction ol "La Tosca" was delayed weeks and weeks because the tragedy queen premptorily refused to act with a certain well-known actor, for whom Sardou had written a part. She objected ob-jected to him because she was convinced con-vinced that he had the "evi! eye." When "Macbeth" was brought out some time ago in faris she had a notion that the playing or singing of the witches' music would as certainly entail en-tail misfortune upon her; consequently some other composition had to take its place. From some cause she displays a positive horror for anything of saffron tint an antipathy that is shared, to some extent, at least, by a large number num-ber of people on tho stage. |
