Mil. IRVING ON THE AHT OF ACTING
Mr. Irving has been unburdening himself
on the rirt of acting. He Insists that 'It IH a
great point In the dramatic profession not
to overestimate one's abllltj "
Mr Irving also thinks that every actor
should bo a scholar , at least .so far as It Is
posslblo for him to be such. An. ! to the re
tort that many Ignorant men have been
great actors , Mr. Irving returns the reply
"flow much greater they might have been
had they been educated If the great Imi
tative quality they possessed had been guided
by a trained intelligence "
Upon the much-debated question whether
acting Is feeling or training Mr Irving says
"The young man desirous of becoming an
actor must avoid embracing the mischievous
Idea that acting Is merely a matter of feel
ing ; that a part Is to be Interpreted merely
us he happens to feel at the time of Its portrayal
trayal I have said that acting Is a fclence
and therefore the actor should try lo make
it as exact a science us possible He should
Htud > pvcry facial expression , every gesture
every Inflection of the voice , every move
ment that he Intends to emplo > In the delin
eation of his role before he takes the stage
and should know Just how he IK going to
speak , look and gesticulate In eveiy phrase
ami not trust to feeling to Inspire him to
do tlieso things after he goes upon the
atngc. "
Mr Wlllird writes to the Associated press
that ho has finally determined his future and
Bays' "I terminate my London perfonnances
of 'The Professor's Love Story' on October
26 and will act at Brighton. Birmingham nnd
Liverpool during the month of November
After that I mem to rest absolutely until
the autumn of 1S95. "
Some London newspapers having announced
that Mrs. Humphrey Ward was writing a
play which Mr. Irving had accepted , Mr
Irving writes the Associated press , saying
that "the statement Is untrue. "

original , and novel In Its dramatic con

It fills a field distinctively its own In Its

scenes , Incidents and mediums of iace track
life upon the stage. How well lie has suc
ceeded In his cleverly evolved Ideas Is seen
la the lar e and enthuslastlo patronage
accorded to "The Derby Winner" wherever
It has thus far appeared.
"The Derby Winner" Is a drama In fo"iir
acts and seven scenes. The opening scene
reveals to view General Grant's old log
cabin , where that famous soldier spent his
earlier days In the background of thin
sconeIs the little , old church where General
Grant was married , and around whose hal
lowed associations are clustered memories
which are near and deir to the American
heart.

Then romes the great racing scene , pro
nounced by press and publlo us the most
effective and realistic representation of a
race track ever seen on the stags.
The story of "The Derby Wlnrer" Is Inter

that refuses to run smoothly at first , but
which Is set right In the end. Its dialogue
Is crisp , pithy and entertaining. Its scenes
are full of animation. Us situations' are stir
