The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1897-10-17

20 the Jealousy % younger and prsttier
rival entertained by Miss Ellen Terry.
Others, however. just as Stoufly main
tain that Miss Terry 1aq nothing 70 90
with the matter. but that the reason fog
Miss A-thurs dismissal IS that she did
not altogether realize Sir HenFys expec-
iations.
with regard TO the FIRST reason. IL Is
well known that any attempt on SIR
Fenry's par 70 train up an actress 10
play Miss Tcrry's roles is invariably met
with the most strenuous opposition on ne
part OF that very admirable woman ana
actress. y hose professional 1ss lousy, how
ever. will brook no opposition
Most people wifi remember the story
cahled over from England at the time
when Madame sans Gene was being re-
hsarsed how Miss Terry left the theater
and Sir Henry Irving forever. and was in
duced 10 return only after very long
coaxing.
The relations Of Sir Henry and Miss
Terry have been considerably strained for
some time and IL is said that the non-re-
newai OF Miss Arthur's engagement was
the condition OF Ellen Terry's complete
accord as far as the future Is concerned
As for the second reason advanced az
the cause OF Miss Arthur's non-engage-
ment ii is well known that her success at
the I.yceum theater In New York would
hardly have sufficed TO set the Thames
on fire or set the audience ablaze with
enthusiasm being. in fact very moder-
ate one This fact doubtless, made IL a
little easier for Sir Henry TO agree 10 her
dismissal from his company.
Now Miss ARTHUR is sure TO contra
diet the above I'm toto. The loyalty that
Sir Henry inspires in all those who have
served him is astonishing, until one has
observed the kindness and patience with
which he treats all his young and aspir-
ing colleagues.
There is no reflection I'm the above on
either Miss Arthur or Sir Henry. and the
professional jealousy OF Miss Terry. per-
haps. IL only natural TO an old and favor
tie actress. who objects 10 being supplant-
ed In public favor and esteem by a young
and attractive aspirant for her shoes.
There are similar cases. If rumors be true,
on this side of the water.
