HENRY IRvING'S FAREWELL ENGAGE
MENT.
LAST TINE OF LOUIS XI."

LAST TINE OF LOUIS XII
The first week OF the farewell engagement OF
Henry Irving and Ellen Terry, at Abbeys Theatre.
closed yesterday, with a performance OF Macbeth
In the afternoon and Of Louis XI' at night The
local audience has now seen. for the last time for
many months, Miss Terry's original and remark
able study OF Lady Macbeth. and Mr.. 1rvings
ina ginati impersona tions OF Macbeth and Louis
XI The theory OF Mrs. Sddons TO Lady Mac
beth.-a theory which placed especial emphasis on
the feminine allurement and peculiar womanlike
fascination Of the charac,er.-has been better ex-
emplined by Miss Terry than by anybody else VINO
has played the part within a long remembrance OF
the stage and her portrayal OF the conscience
stricken Queen will remain a treasured memory
With OF Mr.. Irvng's doctrines as TO Macbeth
1t might be possible entirely TO agree: the high
est Interpretation that Shakespeares characters
will bear is always the right Interpretation TO put
upon them, and, probably, II Mr.. Irvings views
were closely examined 1t would be found that his
substitution Of the Imagination for the conscience
leads practically, 10 the same result: but MT
lrvng's embodiment OF the haunted murderer, In
the elements of weirdness, wicHedness. de!!rlufn'
awful isolation. and affecting pathos, comes as
to Shakespeares great conception as the per-
Torrance of any actor has ever come. and, for its
poetic power and melancholy grandeur, it will long
be remembered with thoughtful admiration.
Mr. Irving's embodiment of Louis XI has every
where been accepted work of fluent dramatic
inspiration and OF the highest artistic felicity. AS
to other performances OF his there are dis
scntlent views but as this the judgment OF
the world is wel-nigh unanimous. IL Is an exceed
ingly brilliant example OF that faculty Of mper-
sCnation for which he Is exceptional and extraor.
dlnary. and IL reveals, in a most impressive and
convincing manner the wealth Of his Imagination,
the resources OF his satircal humor and cynicai
wisdom, the splendid repose which Is at the basis
OF his acting. and the hexibty and precision that
make his executive art perfect and so delightful.
His acting in the scene Of the confessional touch
ing the springs Of both terror and pity, attans to
h., ft,if ffIrA of y
scene is OF appalling fidelity and solemn sig
nncance His performance last night notwitn-
standing great fatigue, conscientious IN
execution and firm and fine In all It's effects as
on that memorable evening. more than twelve years
ago when he first astonished and delighted this COM
munity with this renar kable historic achievement
To sec Henry Irving Louis XI is to live in remote
are and 10 understand never before the life and
character OF a strange. romantic, and perilous past
The revival was received with much enthusiasm.

day with Mr.. Irving King Arthur and Miss
