PRR | * Wy Where a NGLAND is bemoaning a fate that has long been the lot of amiable America—the want of @ great actor. The death of Sir Henry Irving has been used to point many a moral during the past week, but none more per- tinent and poignant than this; There is no one to take his place, \ | ‘With the death of Booth we resigned ourselves to the tondition in which Hnglish theatre-lovers now find themselves. In @ way our loss, in the jassing of Sir Genry, is as great as theirs, for to thousands in this eountry the visits of the distinguished actor were events which claimed their only interest in the theatre, Irving may not have been great in the full sense of the word, yet he was a tremendous force, a majestic figure, and his femoval from the stage leaves it barren of any true form of greatness. is death only serves to emphasize our poverty. It brings up the question: Where are our actors? What are they? In the shad- ow of Irving's tow- ering memory what pyemies they seem! that we have no real actor, no real actress, none that " deserves the name.
