amuse his king. Sir Henry Irving was
even knighted by Queen Victoria. who
recognized his magnificent services to
dramatic art. But In all the years when
Sir Henry was breaking his neck to
run back and forth between Victoria's
royal residences and the cities where
he was playing. to set up his scenes
and act for the old queens amusement
and the entertainment Of her guests.
he was never once officially received
by her at court. He had many private
audiences, which were much the same
for him as to have chat with any
other old lady; but, although he was
the possessor Of a royal title, favor
lite with the royal family and the
greatest actor of his age, he never was

called, to Buckingham palace. The
