William Terriss played the King. Mr. Forbes Robertson made a memorable success in the part of Buckingham; and it is interesting to note that Miss Violet Vanbrugh played the part of Anne Boleyn. The Music An outstanding feature of the Lyceum production was Edward German's music. I deem myself fortunate that this music was available for the present production. It may be mentioned that Mr.
One of our playwrights of whom I always expected a great play was Mrs. A little one-act play of hers, "Journeys End in Lovers' Meeting" in which I first acted with Johnston Forbes-Robertson and Terriss at a special matinée in 1894 brought about a friendship between us which lasted until her death. Of her it could indeed be said with poignant truth, "She should have died hereafter."
When the night came for Marion to play the part, she struck out, and Terriss had to play the rest of the scene with a handkerchief held to his bleeding nose!
All the same, at the bottom of this public display of sisterly devotion and harmony and in spite of occasional tiffs and differences, there was genuine affection on both sides, for as a child Nita had adored Margaret, and there could be no doubting the elder's love for the child. Some regimental observers said that every bit of heart that eldest Terriss girl had was wrapped up in the little one.
That is a real lover's sentiment, and all lovers are vain men. "Terriss has 'come on' wonderfully, and his Don Pedro is princely and manful. "I have thus set down, my dear Irving, one or two things merely to show that my gratitude to you is not that of a blind gratified idiot, but of one whose intimate personal knowledge of the English stage entitles him to say what he owes to you." "I am
A few weeks later, when Terriss and I were looking through the curtain at the audience just before the play began, he said to me gaily: "See that dear old woman sitting in the fourth row of stalls that's my dear old mother." The wretch had quite forgotten that he had killed her!
When Johnston was asked why he had chosen that particular moment in the Church Scene, he answered modestly that it was the only moment when he could put himself as Claudio at the "side"! Some of the other portraits in the picture are Henry Irving, Terriss, who played Don Pedro; Jessie Millward as Hero, Mr. Glenny as Don John, Miss Amy Coleridge, Miss Harwood, Mr.
Stoker then divested himself of some of his clothing and jumped in after him, and sustained the man until a boat came to them. The man was insensible. Mr. Stoker, a surgeon, brother to Mr. Bram Stoker, did his utmost to try and restore the man, but unfortunately failed." "On August 16th, 1885, Mr. William Terriss saved a boy off the North Foreland, off Deal.
Frost was cold, selfish, intensely self-willed, indomitably persevering, and though "close-fisted," to the scale of a Scotch landlord as a rule, he would loose his purse strings and pay well for services he considered essential. When Frost had a consuming desire he let no money consideration stand in the way, and for Nita Terriss he stood ready to spend a small fortune. Everybody knew Mrs.
With his bright hair curling tightly all over his well-shaped head, his beautiful figure, and charming presence, Conway created a sensation in the 'eighties almost equal to that made by the more famous beauty, Lillie Langtry. As an actor he belonged to the Terriss type, but he was not nearly as good as Terriss.
