Laurence Irvfnc,s Sneech.

Doubtless one Of the longest curtain
speeches ever made was delivered by
Laurence Irving after the second act OF
THE Affinity on the occasion Of the
premiere Of this piece at the Comedy
Theater. New York Somewhat impul-
sively he criticised the play. with the
hope that the audience would come more
closely In touch with the purpose OF the
author, Eugene Brieux. A thing that
Mr.. Irving did not touch upon. however,
is the fact that he is a strong personal
friend Of this famous writer. Shortly
after THE Affinity was produced IN
New York last spring at two trial matt
nee performances, Mr.. Irving received a
letter from Mr.. Brieux, IN which he said;
Il consider that have always perse-
vered along my path as q moralist II
has been my bane or my pTide-'as You
Ike it'-and I consider that I have never
more emphasized this than in The AZ
unity which I regard as one Of the
saddest plays I have written. I am well
served and well understood II the audi
ence laughs. so long as reflection follows
in the wake OF laughter"
Mr. Irving quite won his audience when
he said that there are always one or two
persons present who believe that an
actor Is a man OF little responsibility and
possessed OF intelligence OF a doubtful
