Today's highlight from the Art Institute.
Bronze sculpture of the actress Sarah Bernhardt as a chimera, featuring bat wings and lions claws. Gallery card with this text: French actor and artist Sarah Bernhardt was perhaps the first global superstar, with legions of admirers spread across Britain, continental Europe, North and South America, and as far afield as Australia. In this fantastical bronze inkwell, she portrayed herself as a chimera, a mythological creature composed of disparate body parts. Bernhardt joined her human torso and head to clawed haunches, bat wings, and a dragon-like tail. The work is a key example of her inspired use of visual media to fashion and promote her own image.

Doing some searching through old newspapers this morning and hot on this item from a News of the Day page. I wonder how George and his wife made out.
News item about George McLaughlin of Chicago being ordered by a judge to "Take his wife with him when going out at night and to go to bed at a reasonable hour."
