In Anecdotes of the Stage" Charles
Wyndham, the prominent actor relates
that in his first attempt at starring in
England, Henry Irving, the celebrity now
visiting this country for the first time,
was the light comedian of the CON pany.
1t was speedily seen that Wyndhsm was
not qualified to star, and that he was or
ly very ordinary young man, worth no
more than $15 per week. This sum the
manager offered him as being the same re-
ceived by Irving. Those were the days
when an English actor had to serse long
and hard apprenticeship in the provinces
before he could go to London. Irving
had been serving thus for ten years. Six
months after that Irving and Wyndham,
both out Of an engagement, turned up in
the lobby of a Liverpool theater seeking
the same position-that of comedian.
Irving was the fortunate man. at tbs
close of the following year both went to
London, where they played together il
comedy and bariesque. In comedy Irving
always played the villains, and his COL
league the good men. They we're both
dissatisfied with this arrangement, and
longed to reverse the roles, which they
succeeded in doing. only to find that sue
cess lay in the original methods. Irving
in burlesque played well. Indeed, most of
the prominent actors now on the London
stage we're burlesquers in their early days,
and Wyndham says that is the best way to
begin.
