DEAD HUSBAND TALKS.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH WIFE.

MESSAGE FROM DIVINE SARAH.

PSYCHIC , EXPERIMENT DESIRED.

Almost daily, between the hours of two and four, in the morning, Miss Ruby Miller, the actress, is in direct communication, she declares, with her late husband, Max Darewski, who died a few months after their romantic marriage last year. Telling her story to the Sunday Chronicle in England a. few weeks ago, Miss Miller stated that since the death of her husband she has been actively engaged in spiritualistic research. She says she has had some remarkable experiences as the result of her " talks" with her husband. She declares she is convinced that ■Sarah Bernhardt wishes to . use her as a " vehicle" 1 for tho unparalleled cpft of acting that passed with the death of the great French actress. Miss Miller emphasises that she has no desire to act again, but she believes that the " Divine. Sarah" wishe3 her to play some of the latter's old roles as a psychic experiment. " Please do not imagine it is that I consider myself a great actress," said Miss Miller. "I do not; and neither does. Bernhardt. It is merely that she and my husband were discussing me on this earth plane, and that after the dreadful shock of my husband's ' passing over,' which has left mo with little desire to live and no desire ever to act again, had heen conveyed to her, she asked him to send me a message as soon as he was able to do so.

" lb v-as that if I would consider playing sorrif) of her parts, roles euch as Nais, which she herself had a desire to play in English, she would do her utmost. to give these performances through me."

Seated in the drawing room of a luxurious flat, Miss Miller, as she made these statements,,preserved a calm demeanour, and, in a voice of resonant beauty, spoke with sincerity. " A famous clairvoyants, whom, as my husband fortunately recalled, I have met on various occasions," explained Miss Miller, " wrote to me a few weeks after my bereavement to say that Max was in dreadful distress. This clairvoyante visited me, and I have received the most help from her. Within a few w?eks I had attained to complete communication. and <his has gone on continuously since. November. It was then that he first spoke to me of Mme. Bernhardt. " Bernhardt's plan is to use mo in exactly the same way as Coram, the ventriloquist, uses his figure Jerry. I think it would bo a case of learning the lines, wearing the costumes, and taking up certain positions on the stage—and then, in m y dressing room, getting myself into a sort of trance, and waiting for her to do the rest. . " The latter side, as a matter of fact, 's rather how I have always gone on, ?nd for that reason 1 never allow anyone in my dressing room at the theatre. Invariably I have felt that some power outside myself was playing the part."
