Mi.-s Klhei Irving, whose delighlfiil acting in "The Witness for Hie Defence," and ,l,ady Frederick" will not readily be forgotU'ii by.theatregoers, was interviewed by a representative of (he "Telegraph'' on her return to Sydney from .New' Zealand. "We have made many friends in Australia and .New Zealand, and we t ;o awav willi very happy memories nf the piopl.',''' said Miss Irving, in reviewing her lour; and in this farewell message her husband, Mr. Gilbert I'orteims, cordially joined. The distinguished actress would have liked (o stay longer in Sydney and Melbourne, and (o appear in n larger repertory of plays. She was delighted with her reception in those cities, and was manifestly pleased that "Dame Nature," the play which she prefers of (lie three, had gone well (here. Tin's piece was not put on in New Zealand; since (he visit was, of necessity, a hurried one, it lind lo be left behind, especially a? the role of I.olelte is so. exacting. The four was as brilliant arlislicaliy as could have been wished, and the press notices were couched in a highly laudatory strain. "Such occasions are too rare in our theatrical history," one critic justly observed; a seiukiiHiit which will be emphatically re-echoed so far as Australia is concerned. The visit of so charming an actress is an event of great dramatic importance in 11.e.-c lands, separated as they arc by so many leagues of sea from the art centres of the Old World. , -

It was natural, tborcfore, that Miss Irving should be appealed to to return at some date in the future. She i-hook her head. She was unable to make n promise thus early, but another visit lo Australia may come within the region of the possibilities. Playgoers tliroughout Ihc Commonwealth assuredly will .-Iwiys be glad to welcome the «fer. The {[real objection, in Miss lrvinr;'.s eyes, is the distance to be (ravelled from I,oii:bn to reach Australia. On her return lo Knsrbiud, she may rea'snnic Hie title role in a revivil nf "T.ady Vrcderick." or it is pnsiibls that she will go lo the London tliuuiidrimc. tlius following the latter-day example of several great actresses who nave appc-ircd in scenes from plays on tlie variety starre. it is with deep regret that she■ savs farewll lo Hi- in t\U imrf of thfl for she has no lccling but that of deep appreciation for the people of Australia.
