WHEN IRVING PLAYED ROMEO ?Hence, Light and Actors, the Thr?o Things Necessary for Artistic Ef? fect and Atmosphere. Wendell Phillips Dodge relates an Incident growing out of the first meet? ing of Robert Mantell with Sir Ueury Irving, back In 13S2, when both were playing Romeo In London. There were reviewers who foun?l Irving too old for tho youthful Komeo, and one ad rleed that he should make way for "the young fellow over at the Olym? pic." Irving prepared a special idt ?rnoou pertortnance In the Lyceum, to which all the players In London were invited. After It ?Tai over. Mantell ?rent back of the stage, and Irving ask ed him how he liked the nerforwance. It bas been like an afternoon at school with congenial lesson | replied Mantell. "How do you do it? How lo yon manage effects? How do you let such atmosphere, such a tea tlon Id tho g'.ury of the tragedy, nitb ?uch lifle effort? Is there no recipe?" There Is; Indeed there Is," answer sd Irving. "Simple, too: only three things to remember. The first Is si? lence, and plenty of It behind the so that the actor may be at with nothing to distract when striving for his snad'.ngs. The second In light, regulated as far as possible so that nature Is counterfeited?and that, young man. Is the recipe." "But," protested Mantel, "you said there were three things to remember; rou have mentioned but two. Is there i third?" "Did I say a third'" asked Irving. 'I'm, perhaps I did. perhaps I did; tut what could 1 have had In mind? Let me ten. Ah, yes, silence, light, and?urn, shall I say?actors? Re? member that, my boy. sctors. Silence, tight, end?actors, that Is the third."? London Strand. RENOWNED POOL OF SIVA Wonderful Waters Credited by People of India With All Sorts of Msgnetlc Attributes.
