at Queen s college, Cork. His parents
educated him for mercantile pursuits.
but firing of that and being quite a
musician. he started in the theatrical
life in the orchestra. He made his first
appearance as an actor with the
Theater Royal Company OF Dublin, and
thence with travelling stock companies,
throughout the provinces OF England,
He came to this country with ]. l..
Toole. Lester Waliack engaged him.

don't expect TO look upon his like again
as n stage director and general dodger-
up of other peoples ideas. True. he
seldom acknowledged his indebtedness.
but whoever they may have been they
were also In his debt. for he inyar-
iably improved upon the originals Like
most clever men of his calling, he was,
to say the least, eccentric and exceed
ingiy arbitrary in his directions at
rehearsals. and woe betide the actor
who dared to differ with him.

plays at dear old waIlack's ran con-
siderable risk of losing my shop by
giving him as good as he sent. The piece
was not called perfect so, as was Gus
tOnary in the old stock days, I was
trying to see how many of my lines
knew without the aid of the written
part. I came to a very good speech,
and 1 sputtered and spattered a good bit
over it, when suddenly Boucicault said
to me:
q God bless my soul. Herbert. what
are you trying to say?' Here put good
lines into your mouth and then you
don't speak them
II replied mot too meekly, I fear)
You certainly do put good lines into
peoples mouths. as you say. but I'll
wager you'll knock them out of people s
heads at rehearsal quicker than any
