HENRY IRVING, the English actor, asks
100000 for fifty nights in this country;
but at present 'longshoremen in New

F. G. BURNARD: ''To adopt the stage
as a profession, means to practice the
art Of acting not merely as a pastime for
ones self, and perhaps for the amusement
of others, but only for the entertainment
of the public, who pay the actor for his
trouble, and so make his employment in
their service furnish him with the means
of living. Give me a song,' says the
public to the actor, and I'll give you
your supper. ,"
The London Sunday Times says of
Sullivan's ''Pirates of Penzance:" '"The
secret Of the entire work is that it was
written down to American tastes, that it
succeeded 'Pinafore, and was perforce
cast in the same mold" Not compliment
tary, but true. It also adds: "As a
writer of opera Mr.. Gilbert is eccentric,
seeming to inhabit kind of world whose
vanities are to be looked at upside down.
Though this is admirable in its way, it
does not bear frequent repetition. People
become tired of standing on their heads,
80 to speak, and want to regain their
legs; but they will not be able to do so
over the Pirates of Penzance. ,"

lions. Passing from his box to the
stage, the Emperor took the opportunity
of thanking Lucca for the great pleasure
her singing and acting had given him,
and subsequently she was presented, in
his name, with a beautiful and costly
bracelet, set with diamonds and other
precious stones.
CHARLES WEBB has taken some extra
ordinary liberties with Shakespeare in
preparing ZbOeyth Night for use by

to five, but there is more than mere
Encouragement Much of the material is
discarded, and new language and Incl
dents are put in. The most daring of the
latter are the tossing of "Malvolio in a
blanket and duel between "Sir Toby ;"
and "Sebastian Mr.. Webb is kind
enough, too, to Enthusiastically unite ''Sir
Toby" to ''Maria, !" the ''Duke'' to 'fVi-
ola, " and Sebastian" to ''Olivia, at the
end of the play.
