Miss TerTy's Career.

There is probably no actress on the
English-speaking stage today who so
holds the esteem and admiration of
theatergoers Of two continents as Ellen
Terry. The most convincing proof of
this is to be had in the brilliant arrange
ments some months ago in England for
the celebration Of her dftieth anniver-
Sary on the stage, when all London
went down before her and gave Miss
Terry an ovation that has rarely been
known in the history Of the stage. The
performance on her anniversary day
brought into the box Office of the Drury
Lane Theater $4,000
From her life on the stage and
through such connection with the public
as professional people enjoy IL was often
assumed that she was a spinster. She
not only had been married twice before
her union with James Carew, but is a
grandmother as well. Miss Terrys first
husband was the celebrated English
painter, George Frederick Watts, with
whom she spent a most unhappy ex-
istence, finally obtaining a divorce.
Subsequently Miss Terry married
Charles Wardell, the English actor,
known to the stage as Charles Kelley

Friendship, Not Love.

Her great friendship for the famous
English actor frequently brought out
the assertion from the public that a
strong attachment existed between
them, but it has been as frequently as
serted that this was merely the'strong-
est bond of friendship. The press, at
the time Of Sir Henry's funeral, made
note OF the fact that the handsOmest
floral piece was an immense blanket OF
laurel leaves, which was supposed 70
have come from Miss Terry, although Il
was sent anonymously. Miss Terry did
not attend the funeral.
Miss Terry's greatest characterization
is regarded to be POrtia i'm THE Mer-
chant of Venice and one Of her most
popular roles is Nance Oldfield in q
one-act play of that name. which Miss
Terry recently presented here in con-
necuon with The Good Hope"

Terry and Irving.

For years Miss Terry and Irving
worked together. His greatest triumphs
and her most notable successes were
made when they were jolnt stars
Every memorable production that Sir
Henry made was Intimately associated
with Miss Terry. and when he came to
America without his famous leading
woman the loss was keenly felt.
The long association Of these Two play
ers continued until Sir Henry was
knighted and the demand upon his purse
then became so great that he was COM
PEELED to economic. and this. ii is as
serted, proved distasteful 20 Miss Terry.
She determined TO go out az the head OF
her own company and met with such
signal artistic and financial success that
she decided 70 sever her connection with
the Irving company.
