General
Curator's notes: This disc contains two transfers of a 1918 recording of Sarah Bernhardt, originally released by Collectors Record Shop. The sleeve notes indicate these were created by Packard for the Tichnor Library (Department of French); Side B was transferred at a "slower speed" to lower the pitch to be "more like Sara Bernhardt's voice."
