Henry Irving at the Show
摘要
Washington, January 14—Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry gave a matinee performance to-day before a fair audience in the United States Senate. With several members of their company they occupied two rows of seats in the private gallery and rehearsed a one-act curtain-raiser for over half an hour. Henry Irving entered impressively, stood at the top of the gallery steps, shaded his eyes with his hands, and gazed meditatively into the pit. There were forty-six Senators present. It looked like a $400-house with a $2,000-expense bill running.
