Not that I care a fig for gaudy show, dear boy But juveniles must look well, don't you know, dear boy. And shall I lordly hall and tuns of claret own? And may I murmur love in dulcet baritone? Tell me at least, this simple fact of it Can I beat Terriss hollow in one act of it? Pooh for Wenman's bass! Why should he make a boast of it?" He was a valuable actor, yet somehow never interesting.
He then left us for a time, returned for "Faust," and remained in the Lyceum company for some years playing all Terriss's parts. Alexander had the romantic quality which was lacking in Terriss, but there was a kind of shy modesty about him which handicapped him when he played Squire Thornhill in "Olivia." "Be more dashing, Alec!" I used to say to him. "Well, I do my best," he said.
I did not take some business which Marion did on Terriss's suggestion. Where Thornhill tells Olivia that she is not his wife, I used to thrust him away with both hands as I said "Devil!" "It's very good, Nell, very fine," said Terriss to me, "but believe me, you miss a great effect there. You play it grandly, of course, but at that moment you miss it.
By this time, too, there were or had been nearly a dozen of the graduating class in town classmates of Rollin Latrobe their much-loved "Pat" and speedily the story was told of his devotion to her when she was Nita Terriss, of their correspondence, of their engagement to be married on his graduation, which in strict confidence he had imparted to his roommate, who kept it inviolate until after her sudden union with Colonel Frost and poor "Pat's" equally sudden disappearance.
As you say 'Devil! you ought to strike me full in the face." "Oh, don't be silly, Terriss," I said, "she's not a pugilist." Of course I saw, apart from what was dramatically fit, what would happen. However Marion, very young, very earnest, very dutiful, anxious to please Terriss, listened eagerly to the suggestion during an understudy rehearsal.
"I think you'll be sorry you've spoken to me like this, Guv'nor," said Terriss, casting down his eyes. "Now no hanky-panky tricks, Terriss." "Tricks, Guv'nor! I think you'll regret having said that when you hear that my poor mother passed away early this morning." And Terriss wept. Henry promptly gave him the day off.
The young Prussians had alternately gasped and wept at the amazing stories of the liberty, the petting, the procession of "good times" enjoyed by American girls of their own class, to say nothing of the invariable prerogative of these fortunate girls to choose their own husbands; who, according to the unprincipled Miss Terriss, invariably spoiled their wives, and permitted them to go and come, to spend their large personal allowances, as they listed.
He died as a beautiful youth, a kind of Adonis, although he was fifty years old when he was stabbed at the stage-door of the Adelphi Theater. Terriss had a beautiful mouth. That predisposed me in his favor at once! I have always been "cracked" on pretty mouths!
Three lads were bathing near the shore, and one of them was seized with cramp. Mr. Terriss jumped overboard from a boat, with all his clothes on, and saved the boy. He was presented with the Royal Humane Society's Medal by H. Irving, Esq., in the presence of the whole of the Lyceum employees." "On the afternoon of Wednesday, August 19th, 1891, Miss Mary Collier, daughter of Mr.
The novel referred to was "Soldiers of Fortune," which eventually proved the most successful book, commercially, my brother ever wrote. Mrs. Hicks, to whom Richard frequently refers, is the well-known English actress Ellaline Terriss, the wife of Seymour Hicks.
