ACTRESS BECOMES NUN
LAST WORDS TO FRIENDS. Yvonne Hautin, formerly an actress of the Comedie Francaise, lately renounced the world by taking her perpetual vows of a Benedictine nun before Mgr. Gerlier, Bishop of Lourdes, in the chapel of the Benedictine Convent in the Rue Monsieur, Paris. Relatives and friends were present at the ceremony/'among them being M. Emile Fabre, who is still Director of the Comedie Francaise in spite of the attempt of M. Daladier's Minister of the Interior to give his post to a detective, and other former colleagues of her theatre life. Mile. Hautin left the Comedie Francaise three years ago to take her first vows, and has been in Lourdes ■since 1932 caring for the sick. The last words spokeh by the new nun, Sister Marie Yvonne, to her friends as the heavy monastery doors closed behind her were, "I shall pray for you."
