From the notes of Dr. Catherine Perry: Julia Bartet (1854-1941) was a famous French actress at the Comédie Française. Noailles has been charged by a group of women, presided by Marguerite de Witt-Schlumberger (1853-1924, president of the French Union for Women's Suffrage), to invite Bartet to a representation for the "Foyers des Campagnes," which were centers built in rural areas after the war to encourage soldiers to return to their hometown or village.
