It is quite a mistake to imagine that Mr. H. IS. Irving, whoso projected visit to Australia is being looked forward to with so much interest by lovers of highclass dramatic work, only came to ttm front rank in his profession after tno death of his father. True enough, whilo Sir Henry lived, he kept liis place as tho very foremost dramatic artist of his day, but all the same, as early as 1897, his son had established himself in the estimation of the. public, as an actor of high repute, and the feeling then was that the son would forgo his wav right to the forefront in Ills profession. In the fourteen years which have since slipped away, Mr. Irving lias shown that those early prognostications wc-ro by no means unfounded, and ho had certainlv proved himself theatrically the uYtftkr. Mil of-a worthy father.
