OiT Wednesday, Irving- was enter
tained at luncheon in the Bradford
town halL at which he was presented
by the mayor with an address from his
admirers. In reply he said:
Predicted Hi Death. '
i "The sands of my life are fast run
ning out. but before I go 1 would like
to see theatrea established and main
tained by municipalities, because I be
lieve that by this means the standard
of the ' true drama, as distinguished
from- miscellaneous entertainments,
would be successfully upheld.
'.'Money Is spent like water for all
itihds of philanthropic and educational
objects.' but who among your, ever
tdreams of endowing the theatre? I am
sure the time will come when you will
regard the theatre as necessary to a
liberal education and be prepared to
consider any reasonable suggestions
for' the extension- of Its legitimate In
fluence. It may be that In years to
come our countrymen will scarcely un
derstand how in our times so potent an
Instrument of good or 111 as the stage
was left entirely outside the sphere of
public administration." ... C .1
. Sir Henry Irving was born - In
Kelnton. Somersetshire. February I,
IMS. His name was John Henry Brod
rtbb. Henry Irving being the name
taken when he went on the stage. Sub-1
'sequently the name was legalised by
'the courts. When 4 years old the lad
jwaa sent to Cornwall to- live with rela
tives and remained there until 19 years
of age, when he Joined his parents, who
had removed to London. After some
three years Of schooling In London he
secured a position In the orflce of an
'East' India" merchant ' and pursued' a
mercantile career "until he was between
II and It years old. He. -bed at school
and ss a clerk a' marked fondness for
elocution and the stare. He became
acquainted with Samuel Phelps, a noted
actor' of his day. and made so. favorable
alt' impression that he was offered an
. engagement. While he decided to take
vp the stage as a profession, much
against the wishes of his parents, he
thought it best to mske his first essay

one half years, during which. time he
played no less than 421 characters. His
pay was SO shillings, little less than
, 7.e" a week. While here he played
with Charlotte Cushman. In lite Irving
secured his first engagement in Lon
don, when he played a minor part in a
play called 3vy Hall, presented by the
elder Augustus - Harris. The piece
proved a failure, and seeing little proa-
pect for success In London the young
actor went back to Scotland, playing a
season in Glasgow and then going to

with Edwin Booth.
Irving gave no promise then or ruture
greatneSa. In speaking on this point
hs once said. "I found it difficult to
make my way at all with the audlenoe
and I believe the audience was to a cer
tain extent right, I think there was no
reason why I should make my way with
them. I don't think X had learned
enough. I think I was too raw.-
? rtrst Dramatis sTnoeaas.
While at Manchester,'' however, he
made a strong Impression on Dion Bou
cicault. and when that noted actor ar
ranged for the performance of his new
play, "Hunted Down," at the St. James
theatre, London," he made It a condition
that Irving should be engaged and hs
also was given the position of stage
manager. He made his first positive
success there, and this was perhaps the
beginning ef a career .which placed him
at the head of the dramatic profession
tn Englsnd. - . )
After the season at 'the St. James
Irving Joined the company - at the
Queen's theatre. Long Acre, and while
here played for the first time the pert
of Petruchio. , It is worthy of note that
on that occasion the part of Katharine
was played by Miss Ellen Terry. This
Was the first occasion these two players
wlio were afterward to be so Insep
arably coupled In English dramatic hls
tory, hsd been In the same cast
In lies Irving playsd a brief en ga ce
ment at the Haymarket and afterward a
more profitable one at the Drury Lans
In Bouclcault's "Formosa."
v . - Suoeees la ltoaaoa. -His
first great London success wss
made in "Uncle Dick's Darling," a play
by H. J. Byron, founded on a Christmas
story by Charles Dickens. In the cast
were J. I. Toole and Adelaide Nellson.
Irvlngs performance of a strongly ec
centrlo character stamped him as s
great character actor, and his suoces
was accentuated by his performance as
Dlgby Grant in Albery'a successful com
edy, "The Two Roses," produced at th
Vaudeville theatre. June 4. 1170. Col
onel H. L. Bateman, the American mana
ger, engaged Irving In 1171. to support
his daughter, Isabella Bateman, at th
Lyceum. While Irving made a deelded
hit as Alfred Jingle in "Pickwick." th
financial success of Colonel Bateman'S
venture was so far fion) flattering thnt
he decided to return- tb -America' and
was anxious 'for-Irving' to come with
him when the English actor Induced him
to put on "The Belle.". This Was on No
vember ai, 1171. ' The '. performance
proved an Instantaneous and unequiv
ocal triumph for Irving aa Mathlas and
turned the fortunes of ths house.
"Charles L" "Eugene Aram" and 'Riche
lieu" followed with long runs. It was
October tl. 1874, that Irving gave his
first presentation of "Ha ml at" in -London.
The evening was a continued tri
umph, which reached a climax of enthu
siasm that probably never has been'
sffrpsssed In an English theatre, John
Oxenford, dramatic critic of the Times.
wrote: "The pit rose at Irving as they
did at Edmund Keen."
BeoosBsa a TsTsasgsr.
Colonel Bateman died suddenly In
1176, and Mrs. Bateman for three years
was nominally manager-of the theatre,
though really Irving bore the brunt of
tne management In 1S7I she retired,
and Irving became manager in name aa
well ha in fact Practlcaly his first
step was the engagement of Miss Ellen
Terry, and for a quarter of a century
these two great players were together.
. To tell of Irving' s triumphs would
take too much space. - He was success
ful from ths start, and quickly took a
place at the very head of the British
stage, both as an actor and manager,
and he has. held it , .
Irvine's first Am erics n tour was made
In the season of 1S8S-S4. It was a tri
umphal procession, and the seven Amer
ican tours which have followed have
duplicated the first. -
Sir Henry Irving was knighted by
Queen Victoria In 18l. He waa granted
the degree of D. Lit. by both Cambridge
and Dublin universities, and of LL. D.
by Glasgow university. ..-
twstora ta SUs Booeees.
While Irvlng's success has of course
been mainly due to his genius aa an ac
tor, his abilities as . a stage manager.
his prescience In selecting his companies
and his power to get the best work out
of his associates have also been import
ant factors. Never before his time had
the great English plays been so sumptu
ously mounted, or with such historical
accuracy and artistic completeness. In,
uaiiers or stags iignting alone Irving
gained effects that were previously un
attained. i Of the1 actors who havs been at tlmee
In Irvlng's company many have become
successful stars. Among these many be
mentioned William Terriss, George Al
exander, Martin Harvey, Kyrle Bellew,
Forbes Robertson, Julia Arthur ane
Ethel Barrymore.

The condition of the patient remains un
changed. The Stomach, Liver and Bowels
have not been stimulated and in a few
days a stronger purgative may have to be
taken. This is why Pills and Aperient
Waters never give permanent relief.
Their violent action results in an unnat
ural movement of the bowels and it is nec
essary to keep taking them indefinitely.
Why ORINO Is different.
Oanro Laxative Fruit syrup is the only
preparation that really acts upon all
of the digestive organs. Other prepar
ations act upon the lower bowel only and
do not touch the Liver. It can very read
