Ellen Terry's Son an Actor-G Gossip About
Players.
Ellen Terry's son is to make his debut
in 1.-The Dead Heart" which is to be pro-
duced in London in the autumn, says a
London letter. He is but seventeen, and
is at school in the country; but he has
come to town for the weeks rehearsal.
He has much of his mothers charm of
manner and originality, and ought to
make, in later years, fine actor. He did
play the boy in Eugene Aram," with his
mother, three years ago in America, when
he was quite child. In the coming pro-
duction he plays the part of lad of sew
enteen-in fact, the son of Miss Terry
and there is most affecting scene where
he is aiken from his mother to be led to
the guillotine. Miss Terry says that she
can not even 90 through with it at rehear-
sails without breaking down, SO moving
is it.. The Lyceum season closes with the
end of the month, and Miss Terry starts
for Germany early in July for months
rest, although she is really in admirable
health, for she says that Lady Macbeth"
has not been 30 exhaustipg as she feared
it would be.
WILSON BARRETT's PLANS.
Wilson Barrett is to bring over his own
English company next season, the numer-
GUS reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Mr.. Clark S. Ssmmins, the actors
American manager, says that it would be
impracticable to secure an American COM
pany to support Mr.. Barrett, as the
famous English actor would have TO can
eel many European engagements in order
to come here in advance and rehearse the
new people. Mr.. Barretts present COM
pany-a majority at least-have been
with him for years, and in the new dramas
recently produced he has written certain
characters to suit the personal mannerisms
of his players-the same as Augustin Daily
does with his company. Both Miss East
lake and George Barrett will be in the
company supporting England's favorite
acknowledgements the coming season.
In his study, and not in Broadway bar
rooms, will worthy actor pass his leisure
moments 1 would like to have some of
these young fellows try to imagine Henry
Irving or Edwin Booth-men whose work
they venerate and would be proud to equal
sitting at beer table by the hour dis
cussing the merits of prize fight or base
ball game.-Le Chat Noir.
