Bernhardt Performs Adrienne Lecouvreur and Angelo at Belasco
Bernhardt staged two plays at the Belasco Theater: her own Adrienne Lecouvreur in the afternoon and Hugo's Angelo in the evening, supported by De Max, Mme Barbier, Decoeur, and Deneubourg. The Death scene in Adrienne was notably realistic, while Angelo showcased intricate Byronic tragedy with intrigue, panels, poisons, and secret loves. De Max and Barbier delivered strong turns as Homodei and Caterina, and Bernhardt allowed the younger actress to shine, though the house was not full due to bad weather. A separate note reported a streetcar collision at Seventh and T streets leaving one rider uninjured.
