Critics and opponents of Emperor Napoleon also met there . She maintained an extensive correspondence with important personalities of her time. Napoleon banished them from Paris in 1811. After his fall, she returned to Paris in 1814 and reopened her salon.
criticism
“Fern Andra and Bernd Aldor, two stars of film art, shine through the plot with their radiant skills and do not make it easy for the others to show themselves off. Nevertheless, the achievements of Ferdinand von Altens as Napoleon I and Miss Mund as Joséphine Beauharnais are to be fully recognized […] The piece has excellent qualities that cannot be described, you just have to let them work on you. Fern Andra has many beautiful moments, in some places she could have given the recamier more dignity. In contrast, Aldor was a stylish, almost genuine Talma. The presentation was adapted to French pomp and overall effective. "
