Bernhardt Triumphs as Marguerite in Camille Revival
The review lauds Bernhardt’s Marguerite Gautier in Dumas’s La Dame aux Camélias at Theatre Vaudeville, praising her emotional depth, noble natur e and mastery of commanding scenes. It contrasts her artistry with earlier stage portrayals, noting the critic’s belief that Dumas crafted a deeply sympathetic heroine and that Bernhardt’s performance, though artifice-laden, wields a despotic, persuasive charm that draws the audience into the tragedy.
