Irving's charming colleague, Miss
Terry, is freer from the oddities that
make him so unique, but she has been
pronounced equally versatile. and there
is curious parallelism in their dOmes-
tic experience. For instance, while
many might assume her TO be a spin
ster from her stage title. she is known
al home as Mrs. WardelI and IS, in fact
not only married, but q grandmother to
boot. In fact, she has had varied
marital experience III the ffty-three
years OF her eventful life. Ter first
husband was the since famous artist
Watts, who was very much older than
herself and whom she soon found so
uncongenial that they separ9 ted. Her
latest husband. Mr.. Wardeh. was
known on the STAGE as Kelly, but did
not succeed in giving MS sobriquet d
worldwide celebrity.
Taking TO the stage at an early age,
Ellen Alice Terry first found fame when
she Joined the irving company il 1873.
She has been with bIr. Irving ever
since. and that her name for the past
thirty-three years has been indissolu-
bly, linked with his in great histrioaic
achievements it is scarcely necessary 10
say.
Her first stage Renaissance relates
to the time when she met with an acct
dent. When she was little girl about
eleven years Of age. she belonged to
Mrs. Charles Kean's company. She
was one evening acting Puck in A
Midsummer Nights Dream" and had to
come up through the stage on a trap
door standing on mushroom.
The trapdoor was shut too soon. and
one of her feet was caught. She
screamed with pain, and her sister
Kate. then acting Titania. ran to her
