What remains over Of the extraordinary
productions given to the public by the
late Sir Henry Irving, who spent lavish
sums on the Present Theatre? For in
stance (not to speak of any great sum-,
what remains over of his season at the
Lyceum ending on July 81, 1880? Tho
money taken was $50 900, and Irving always
spent all his money on his work. What re-
mains over Of the gross receipts of "King
Arthur"--s39, 3611.O? What remains over
from fifty-three performances Of "The Mer-
chant Of Venice" which realized $780,
05611.2?
Or from the gross receipts from 24O per-
formances given in America in 1886, bring
ing in the sum of 4116,516.16.9; or, in dol
lars, S563,941.50?
Or take 1rving's expenses on his eight
American and Canadian tours. They
amounted to the following sum: $751;
s475.11. great sum, of course, would go
to the actors, and what is there to
show for the rest? In dollars it amounts
pounds sterling, or nearly three million
dollars.
none respects his memory more than / do;
but except for his name, what is there re-
naming over?
These are Henry 1rving's gross receipts
and his expenses from 1876 to 1906:
Receipts, s2,261, ss71o1
Total expenses, s2,168, 290.61.
Net profit 493, 397.4.0
am not quoting these figures in order to
suggest that they were more than Henry
Irving should have received. For my part
wish he had received five millions and the
National Theatre into the bargain. 1t is
what should have been done for the sake Of
the swagger of the British nation, more
than for the sake Of Irving. Nor do quote
the figures in order to suggest that the
money was badly handled in comparison with
other modern theatres. 1t was used Law
ishly, for the stingness~ which has come
upon the English theatre Of late years was

OF the theatrical one hardly amounts to that
of row Of pins. The others are precious
things, durable, valuable, works of art, and
are also good investments
The fact that Irving's Hamlet belt is
more effective on the stage than would be
the belts ip the Bargello only proves one
thing that the present theatre aims
at effectiveness" at all costs, and does not
care whether what is seen on the stage are
works of fine art or not In fact, as you
see, it prefers what is called the "fake" to
the genuine. The fake "tells"; the genuine
falls short of theatrical effect,
And here we come to the two words which
best sum up the theatre as it is and the
theatre as it should be.
Instead of the fake we should have the
genuine.
If every stage thing cannot be precious,
though l see reason why before
long it should not be, let it at any
rate be unpretentious. Is there anything
more annoying to US all who are working in
this new movement than to these gilded
plaster theatre interiors? If the gilt plas-
ter had something inspiring in its form
then we would perhaps set aside the ques-
ton of the gilt and the plaster and accept
it for its expressive form. But it has not
one quality that is good about it, The the
atre at present is just a pretentious place
and is likely to foster pretention in those
who frequent it.
There has been movement for several
years among the architects to give us the
aires of different form, using different
material, with an attempt at what some call
simplicity, and so forth. 1t began with
Wagner, and it seems to be developing we'll
But their tendency is to become what is
called "artistic" and to create a new pre-
tention. These theatres get built somehow
without inspiration and without a reason
and are expressionless. Some system, some
happy or unhappy idea is followed, and it
all ends in being no better than the gilt and
plaster palaces of old.
But lest you should imagine that I object
to the elaborate or to the artificial because
these are generally most pretentious, let
me cite one instance where both exist in the
same theatre and seem to splendid In
Parma there is the theatre built by G. B.
Aleotti and completed in 1919, called the
"Teatro Farnese." Perfect in splendor,
without being a Perishable Theatre, without
being a Durable Theatre, it is typical of all
the best that should have survived in the
present theatre, but is rapidly disappearing
10 has received the touch of genius from
tho man who built it. But genius is absent
from the modern theatres not allowed to
touch it into life~so who cares whether it
endure or perish?
Practical people should consider the enor-

and the carpenter came, too, with his lad
der and nails and they all moved forward
out of the gate and down the stairway.
The crowd that stood below looked up in
excitement and came closer to see all.
Some women whose wells hid their faces
were waiting and followed in little group.
Gesmas, the man who had fought the SOL
dlers, walked in front, boasting that he
was not afraid to die, but Dysmas who
came behind did not speak His eyes were
fixed on Jesus, watching every movement.
The sun was hot, and the sweat poured
down the face of Jesus, and he swayed now
and then under the weight of the cross A
depression had fallen on the soldiers and
they marched in silence, and as if reluct-
antiy. When some PAGES up the street be-
yond the stairway, Jesus stumbled and
lurched heavily, and Dysmas called out
sharply Hes not strong enough to carry
it" he was not rebuked, but Longinus
halted the column and himself adjusted the
heavy bar so that it set more easily on the
shoulders of Jesus, asking him if that felt
better. Jesus thanked him and they started
again
A few yards further on Jesus reeled and
fell
Cant you see he's done?" Dysmas cried
out, and again no man rebuked him, but
the column halted of itself, and Longinus
and soldier lifted the heavy bar from the
body of Jesus and raised him up.
The women who followed were weeping,
and one of them plucked the veil from her
head and rushed forward. She held out
corner of her veil to water-carrer who
stood by, and he sluiced it with fresh
water from his goatskn, and she tenderly
wiped the blood and sweat from the face
Of Jesus, reviving him so that he opened
his eyes and smiled. At the sight the
women broke into walls and beat their
breasts.
Jesus said to Longinus,
"My spirit is willing, but my body is
weak"
Then he turned to the women and said

not their business, they said. No one cares
save Jesus, and l have sent him to his
death. He trusted me. Even though he
knew l should betray him, he risked his
life and trusted, and did betray him"
He sat down beside me. His dark eyes
were full of pain and, like bewidered
child, he put his hand on my arm
"That l should have done this to him
when l love him! 1t was for him l would
have fought"
His tone changed and he said, pettishly:
II tell you, man, l miss him. His face
is always before me and the kindness in
his eyes"
held him by the sleeve and fingered it.
"They would have taken him anyhow"
l said to console him.
"But not through me-" he cried, un-
comforted
l stared at him, for felt his wits had
fed. 1t seemed so strange that he could
feel so much.
"Jesus would forgive you," said DULY,
and at that he turned on me in agony and
cried:
didn't care, but he cares moro than I.
thought he had no passion, and l have seen
him in the midst of it. What is there left
for me but death ?" And he tore his gar
ment from me and went. And then suddenly
my palsy left me and could feel again.
These things were really happening. Jesus
would soon be dead. Judas was about to
die, too; but I forgot that. My one
thought was to Jesus. Rising, dis
tracted, ran back to the steep stairway to
the Antonio, and passing through the
groups of waiting people l climbed rapidly
to the gateway and entered the courtyard.
The soldiers were bringing Jesus out
from the inner yard. They had dressed
him in his own clothes again and two Of
them held him by the arms supporting
him. The Titulus that hung round his
neck said in large white letters, "Jesus of
Nazareth, King of the Jews"

an ounce Of the great Irving personality
would have been lost had these things been
built, collected and preserved, why was
something not done? l will tell you why.
1t was not possible because the public
prefers to be made to pay. Had Irving
asked England and America tn the course
Of twenty years to supply him with e1,000,-
600 in order that he, as the best actor of
his age, might erect for them theatre
which should be even as durable as the
Coincide FRANCHISE (Molieres theatre), the
queer thing is that he would have been re-
fused that sum.
But see what Irving does. He determines
to get that sum and more, . and he
gets it. But he gets it under conditions
which make it less easy to establish such a
theatre. He makes the people pay him over
two million, you see, and he does it i.
if we omit his own great personality and
genius, . . by carrying around train
loads and boat loads of scenery and CO.'S
tunes, armor and appliances which, if still
in existence, must cost more to store than
their actual value.
1t is likely that there are some handsome
swords, jewels and other things in ex-
istence, probably more handsome than those
left by any other actor; but have any of
them value as works of fine art? Whereas
there is hardly little church in all Europe
and Asia that does not contain some price
less piece of silver work or gold work or
ivory work, some piece Of sculpture, or some
robe; in short some fine work Of art.
Do you see what mean?

nous waste which goes on year after year
and should ask themselves whether, instead
Of it, they cannot see their way to have the
Durable Theatre and the Perishable Thea

they would have their cake and eat it,
believe this is possible.
One last word on the Present Theatre.
Although it is but the lees of the wine of
our old theatre, still in that old theatre I
was cradled-and | am helping to nurse a
new theatre. If the new movement does not
regard atfectionately, very affec-
tionately, that old theatre, I shall
be sorry that | ever nursed the new one.
What was good in the old theatre must be
preserved and those of the new movement
must try to learn what those dear remains
signify. There is something good in every
theatre-something not everything. By ac
cepting as gospel all the old theatre said
and did (and all it omitted to say and do),
have reached the present unfortunate
situation.
If the Emotion picture" as it is called, is
closing our theatres and taking away per-
formers from the theatres, and
you have only to study the American the
atrical journals to note this slow but steady
leakage it is due to some weakness
in the theatre. Good then that our old
stage should pass away. Our new stage is
alive, even if very young.
pray that we shall not sit down like
those previous to this war and pooh-pooh
the idea that anything is wrong in the the
atre. Let us realize what is wrong and that
we have not another minute to lose in put
ting it right
"And why don't you propose something
practical?" someone will ask Let me an
swer with Jean jacques Rousseau where he
says: "All people are always telling me to
make practical suggestions" and he goes
on to say, "You might as we'll tell me to
suggest once more what people are already
doing, or at least to suggest improvements
which may be incorporated with the wrong
methods at present in use. in that
way the good becomes corrupted and the
bad is none the better for it," And he adds
still further. 81 would rather follow exactly
the established methods than adopt better
method by halves"
Right! And we must have two new thea
tres-we cannot patch up the old one. Nv
proposal, then, is that we plan for the ages
to come two theatres--a Durable Theatre
and Perishable Theatre
And remembering Leonardo's warning to
"shun those studies in which the work that
results dies with the worker" let us make
up our minds to show courage and reply.
"Not so. Proceed with any study which you
love and determine to make the work that
results endure and antlive aaaps of decay"
