[Sarah BERNHARDT]. P.S. by 44 members and boarders of the Comédie-Française, [early March 1879]; 2 pages small in-4 on stamped paper. Support from the Comédiens français for Sarah Bernhardt, then a member of the Comédie-Française, after a defamatory article in the newspaper Le Molière. [This article, "Sarah Bernhardt", published in the February 9 issue, was signed "Un artiste du Français"; Sarah Bernhardt sued the newspaper, and the case was called before the 10th Correctional Chamber on March 11, 1879, but the actress withdrew her complaint, declaring herself satisfied with the protest of her comrades at Le Français]. "We, the members and boarders of the Comédie Française, declare that we are absolutely unaware of the article published in the newspaper Le Molière, [...] signed by an artist from Le Français and relating to our comrade Mademoiselle Sarah Bernhardt"...
