Lrvina's First SUCCESS.

Some interesting personal recollec-
lions of Sir Henry Irving are con-
tanned in an article on his career and
influence contributed to the current
Harper's Weekly by Lawrence Gilman.
In 1874. Irving achieved an immense
success by his performance of Ham
let" at the ondo Lyceum theater. His
Interpretation OF the part was so strik-
ing and unusual that the play mad a
run unprecedented at that time, con-
tinuing for 200 nights. OF his eXper-
fence in playing this part Sir Henry
gave some years before his death, an
interesting account.
Il can always tell" he said. when
the audience is with me. II was not
with me on the first night of Hamlet
which is. perhaps. curious, considering
my subsequent success. ON the first
night l felt hat the audience did not
go with me until the first meeting with
Ophelia, when they changed toward me
entirely. But as night succeeded night,
my Hamlet grew in their estimation.
l could feel-it all the time. and now !
know that they like it-that they are
with me heart and soul"
