IL is almost useless TO say that the
VISIT is hailed as the most notable
dramatic event of the season. Henry
Irving is undoubtedly today the great
est living English speaking actor. He is
reported to be as vigorous physically as
at any time in his eventful and success
ful life. The Sardou play is said TO be
"a magnificent work. viewed either as a
spectacular stage production or from
the more serious view point OF dramatic
excellence. IL is vivid with the spirit of
the times in which it's scenes are laid
and presents the crafty French villain
and statesman in a series of incidents
entirely original and interesting in their
results as character study.

ballads and "a comedian OF much wit
