Sir Henry Irving

A few nights ago'I saw this evergreen actor in Waterloo" and The Bells."

The former is comparatively a new piece, but the part of Mathias he has now played for more than twenty years and yet it is as fresh as ever. "Olivia" has likewise been performed again with Miss Ellen Terry in the name part and Sir Henry as the dear old doctor. On both occasions on_which I was present it was a case of "Standing room only" all over the house. not a seat vacant anywhere, at which I rejoiced, as no man has done more for the

of English' tage than the erstwhile Ivasco Lycout Theatre, and one is glad to know that his popularity still continue: though he is in his sixty-third ye July.
