Anglo-American Memories SIR HENRY ARTIST. THE MAN AND SOME OF THE PARTS BOTH PLAYED. iCcpyrirht. 1910. by V.

BsMllcrJ London. June 11. "Whoever knew Irving at must be in some doubt whether his memories of Irving the artist or of Irving the man have left the deepest impression. In truth they are Inextricably intertwined. You cannct separate them, nor could his sudiences in the theatre, and it is this Intimate union bet-ween the qualities of the actor and his personal qualities which accounts lor no small part of immense and permanent fame.

When you try to distinguish between the two you find yourself sometimes on one side at the border line and some- Times on the and you do not know "when you have crossed it. And perhaps it does not much matter. In what I have to say of Irving I shall the Impressions take care of themselves. There was a real Irving who was just as real when he was playing- a part as when you met him in private life. All this was evident in his acting of puch a part as Mephistopheles in "Faust." There are in the impersonation of every great role certain moments, seldom very many, which reveal you as by flashes of lightning- the fenius of the actor, or his want of it, or his fitness or unfitness for that particular part.

Such a moment one of his was that when Irving', all in the conventional red and red cock's feather of the conventional Mephistopheles, floated there Is no other word for down the stage to the footlights find breathed out into space in hardly mere than a whisper, but a audible in the remotest spot of the great auditorium, the one sentence: I un spirit." And he icas a spirit You felt it. He belonged not to this world, but to another world He almost a disembodied spirit. His possession of a body was accidental. The essential thing was tho- spirit. He was of all time, past and future: immemorial, immortal, eternal.

"Whether a spirit of evil or a spirit of pood mattered not. He was a spirit. That was what he meant us to under stand. That is "what we did understand. The laws of nature and of evidence were for the time being suspended.

You took his word for it. If he had not said we should still have said to ourrelves, "He is a spirit." It was a spiritual presence, a dweller of another world I being of i nature not human, but divine, a divinity of the nether world; a Epirit of light, though the light ahone from below. Is anything but genius, and very Jiigh order of genius, capable of producing such an effect as that? The two Irvir.gs met in Mephistopheles. If either of the two had been absent it not have been Mephistopheles. or i teles The slightness of his physique to effect.

And "were the eyes, luminous, haunting, melancholy, with the far-away look in them which befitted one who had Just traversed infinite space to reach the earth. was a vision. It is five and twenty years or more since I beheld it.

and the like it I have never seen since, and shall never see. Yet have i seen otL actors m.a?-querading as Mephistopheles. and one ouite recently, actor of renown, of hi eh place some people say the highest row extant of popularity. It is not his fault that he is fat. but need he try to impose a fat Mephistopheles or.

He made him a He sought to make him and he was: present in many places where Goethe had not put him. intrusive, meddlesome; the limelight perpetually turned on this grotesque figure in unexpected corners lad impossi- positions. He had nothing: to do with any other world than this, nor with this except or.

Irvine regarded his victims with a smile of polished ferocity that filled you with ten This j. res Antn Mephistopheles leered at them and at you.

in the manner of the East End. or. should say in New York, the East Side. He played it. In a word, as he would play the lead in a modern farce, with rreat abilities, greatly nothing could be more remote Irom Faust, in which even the scenes Martha are pure comedy; at other are pure tragedy.

Irving, though the version in which he acted was but a pale reflex of the original, had found and kept the true note. He net a man to miss the distinction characteristic of the real play. Bis Mephistopheles a great gentleman, and if Mephistopheles be not a great gentleman he is rot the Mephistopheles of Goethe. There have been books about Irvine ire thought to be disappointing. I am not expressing my own opinion, for I have read none of When I have known a man I like to keep my own Impressions of him.

To read a book about him, except for the facts for the times in which he lived, is to displace or disturb one's own impressions and to accept other impressions instead The picture becomes a blur. One's own memory may not be accurate, and is pretty cerlain net to be complete, but it is one's Mr. Eram Stoker, who is well known, had every opportunity to gtve us a good account, for he was Irving' fartutuni during many years, and he is accustomed to the making of books; but the real Irving, they say. is nut there. Erereton has done and overdone an elaborate biography in two volumes; painstaking, but not inspiring; not so much a biography as an inventory.

A little monograph by Mr W. H. Pollock has r-erhaps as much of the living figure ir. it as any. But there is no adequate rortrait of the man.

Any portrait to be tdequate be done on a large scale. Thosgh he had an immense acquaintence and a vast number 4 admirers, Irving had not very many intimate friends, and there were sides of his life hich. I imagine, he did not reveal even to them. In private as in public he played a many parts. I suppose I knew" him as well as most men knew him.

but I was not an intimate friend. most I could say Is that there were fr.oments of intimacy, and a long. Iriendl acquaintance, perhaps a so- LXXIV. The relation between an aatcr and a journalist can never be entirely unembarrassed. The journalist must speak his mind, and the actor is apt to think that criticism ought to take the form of eulogy It cannot always, nor ought personal regard for the actor to affect the critic's judgment, though perhaps it sometimes does.

Whether it does or not. a great artist expects and likes recognition, and he is sensitive because he is an artist. Irving could afford, if anybody could, to face the truth. He had a great public behind him But he had men about him who sought to persuade him to resent freedom of speech. I don't think they succeeded, or ever succeeded permanently.

We all agree now that his acting was unequal: that in pome things he was great, in others less great; and in some of the most famous parts he attempted, such as Macbeth, he was deplorable The most heroic, the most masculine, the most tragic parts seemed to be beyond him. He was an idea! lago. but Othello was a sealed book to him. He could not render the majesty, the nobility, 'the childlike simplicity of the Moor. And Lear was beyond him: is perhaps beyond anybody.

So far as I am concerned, the production of Macbeth' was the critical moment In our relations, if there were ever a critical moment. I saw it on the first night, as I saw many other first nights at the Lyceum, and I cabled to The Tribune a column of comments on the performance. They were not very favorable were not meant to please Irving, nor yet to displease him. The dispatch was a record of first night impressions and opinions. Probably they were too blunt The English sometimes suggest that we Americans have a habit of speaking cur minds too freely; in print and otherwise What they soften here we say outright But in Sir Thomas Fuller'? recent "Life of Cecil an illuminating and most human book he tells this story: There was an English journalist, now dead, Edmund Garrett, who was editing at Cape Town a journal called.

I think. "The Cape Times." He was a friend of Cecil Rhodes Lunching one day at Rhodes'p plare, Groote Schur. Garrett found his host angry at an article of the day before which ran counter to his views, and perhaps attacked him Rhode? told him such an article ought v.p\-^t to have been published. Said Garrett: "Mr Rhodes, it ip a pood thine for you that your paper should be edited by a man who doesn't care a damn whether he pleases you or displeases you." There was a silence. Then Rhodes answered slowly may be you are right, and I am sorry to have questioned it.

I have never tried to control your policy, but I think you might at have taken the trouble to find out the facts." I am quoting from memory, but the illustration is too apt to omit Apt because here was one English Journalist and a distinguished one who was as downright as any American could be. and another Englishman the greatest of his time whom the soft answer which tumeth away wrath seemed all sufficient. "Whatever the brutality of my criticism on Irvine's Macbeth may have been, it put no real strain, or no lasting strain, on our relations. He himself preferred his Macbeth to all his other creations, or rather to any one of them. II the public did not, he rested content, I hope, with his own approval.

The range of his powers as a tragedian was not very wide. He was a comedian of the first order. The scenes with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in "Hamlet" were proof enough of that. In character parts like Louis XI he was supreme. And we have seen what Mac.

Sarah Bernhardt thought of him In such a play as "The Bells." But take him for all in all, he was so great that nice criticism scene ineffectual. He is a haunting figure. He had possession of the stage and of the imaginations of men and women during a quarter of a century. He can no more be displaced than Garrick can be displaced. And even Garrick could not play everything, and in his best parts he was unequal.

THE MISSION CONGRESS A Uniaue Assemblage Trend Toward Unity, London, June IS. Old St. Giles's, in Edinburgh, is a temple where dogmatic theologians ought naturally to hare pacific aspirations. Catholics worshipped there for generations; John Knox often preached and after the Reformation it became a stronghold of Presbyterianism. and it was the cathedra! of the Bishop of Edinburgh when Charles I undertook to re-establish the Scottish Episi copal Church.

Religious zealots ought to fee! at home there, whatever may have been the changes of environment and the chances of ecclesiastical restoration. It has been the appropriate scene of the opening services of the "World's Missionary- Congress, where Christian workers have agreed to forget their differences while attempting to establish a modus vivendi in the evangelization of the world. There has been nothing of dramatic interest as there was when the solemn League of the Covenanters was signed at St Gileses 1643. The mod- erator of the Established Church of I Scotland and high dignitaries of the United Free Church have joined in welcoming the delegates of many Prot- I estant bodies, and a congregation gathered from the ends of the earth has been surprised to find how easy it is to repeat together the Apostles" and the Lord's Prayer and to sing 'Old Hundred. When the Archbishop of Canterbury set the style of fraternal fellowship by rising among a group of Scottish and American Presbyterians and welcoming Christians -without reference to denominational lines, but solely on the ground that mission work was the life blood of the churches, the horizon was enlarged for every narrow-minded bigot in the kingdom.

A truce was proclaimed from polemics and bickering, and the congress settled down for practical work, with adequate safeguards for the prevention of desultory talk and the suppression of bores. With Dr. John R. Mott. an embodiment of American energy and common sense, in the chair for general conference, there was the certainty that business would be dispatched and t.hflt delegates would speak to the point and not waste time.

A library on missionary work had been issued the reports of various commissions based on voluminous evidence and personal experience, and there were experts from ail churches and lands to discuss the future evangelization of the world. Short and sharp as musketry- fire came the speeches from represent ative workers of every fold, and it was not long before there was a white heat of fervor in the great assembly of 1.200 delegates one of the most remarkable councils which the world has ever known. There was neither time nor place for narrowness of dogma when comprehensive questions interesting all Christian bodies were raised. There was the fundamental issue: Ought the churches to enter at once on unoccupied fields or ought they to enlarge their activities in comers and sections where they were already at work? Veterans seasoned by arduous labors In small fields and enthusiasts anxious to sound a trumpet call for a new crusade could not be expected to agree off-hand on this question. Equally Important wa? the alternative choice between the conversion of individuals and the subjection of communities to Christian influence as the main object of missionary effort.

One was the old-fashioned method of labor- Ing in foreign fields and the other was the modern system of concentrating effort and doing things in a large way, as a prairie produces crops. Ought mls- Eionaries to be satisfied with their own preaching and labors in self-civilized communities, or ought they to be mainly employed in recruiting and training native evangelists and in releasing them so far as possible from dependence upon foreign support? Scarcely less important than the use to be made of native agencies for evangelistic work was the expediency of co-operation among Christian bodies at home as the f.rst stage of the advance into unoccupied fields- All these complex and momentous questions were, discussed in seven minute speeches. It was little short of a miracle of grace in a country like Scotland, where sermons have invariably exceeded an hour. Here was a theme so far-reaching as the vastness of the work remaining undone in the missionary field, with 114.000.000 wholly outside the sphere of Christian influence, and scores of fluent, earnest men sprang in turn to their feet and showed how much could be said in seven minutes of compressed debate No sooner had Dr Robson proposed that a strong missionary force should be thrown across Central Africa to bar the onset of Islam than Dr. Karl BTmnm supported birr, with an evangel against the tribes of the Soudan, and Coreans, Chinese.

Japanese and Indians followed him quick succession, with luminous accounts of the work to be done in the Far East. Dr Zwemer. from Arabia, without exceeding the time limit, made a really great speech in favor of invading at once all the unoccupied territory. Equally direct were the appeals for the two ideals of missionary effort individual conversion and the gradual enlightenment of communities by Christian influence; and Bishop Robinson and Mr Robert Speer, Bishop Brooks and Dr Ross made a profound impression by their incisive eloquence Diversity of views prevailed respecting the constitution of native churches, the best method of dealing with the growing- spirit of independence, the most effective means of specializing the training of missionaries and other rapidly brought before the- congress, but day by day there was a gradual approach to unity of faith and religious toleration among this picked body of arduous workers and sympathetic laymen The World's Missionary Congress is likely to open the way for the formation of an international committee with representative men of various religious communions closely associated in directing evangelistic movements on common tinea. That is Mr.

Motfs ardent desire, and he has made a deep impression at Edinburgh by his earnestness end practical Intelligence. That is his proposal for uniting the churches In a world-wide work, and he has contended that the adoption of a well considered plan will be worth the doubling of the number of missionary workers. Whether this result be accomplished' or deferred 1 to another congress, there can hardly fail to be an immense expansion of Interest in missionary work among ail religious The spectacle of 1,200 delegates, representing every shade of Protestant doctrine and practice. In harmonious session is not without inspiration for a coldly cynical and critical world, and the sympathetic letter from Monsignor BonomeHi. Bishop of Cremona, has been a proof that the Roman Church is not indifferent to legitimate aspirations for unity of faith in Christendom.

Opinions on doctrine and church government have shrunk into insignificance. The fellowship of the human race looms up as of supreme importance. I. N. F.

ON ELECTRIC RAILWAYS Plea for Adoption of a Uniform System by George Westinghouse. the address of George Westinghouse to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the British Institution of Mechanical Engineers, to be delivered in London this Although the facts clearly show the contrary, there exists a popular impression that the electrification of railways is a simple matter, an-i that it requires only decisions of boards of directors to insure the immediate substitution of the electric for the steam locomotive. But the great difficulty in the electrification of standard railways is no longer the engineering problem; it Is the financial question, requiring a combination of the highest engineering and commercial skill To insure interchange of traffic, the fundamental requirements so far as the operation of a steam railroad is concerned, with full regard for safety, speed and comfort, are few in number and are covered by the following: standard gauge of track, a standard or interchangeable type of coupling for vehicles, a uniform Interchangeable of brake apparatus. Interchangeable heating apparatus and a uniform system of train signals.

The additional fundamental requirements for electrically operated railways are a supply of electricity of uniform quality as to voltage ana periodicity, conductors to convey this electricity so uniformly located with reference to the rails that, without change of any kind, an electrically fitted locomotive or car or any company car. collect Its supply of current when upon the lines of other companies, and uniform apparatus for control of electric supply whereby two or more electrically fitted locomotives or cars from different lines can be operated together from one locomotive or car. Outside of economy In capital expenditure and economy and convenience in operation by ftearn or electricity, it matters not whether each locomotive and car and the apparatus upon them di.fer from every other locomotive and car in size or details of construction so long as the constructions are operative and the materials employed are used within safe limits. I became thoroughly convinced that the extended distribution of electricity for industrial purposes could be secured only by the generation of alternating currents of high voltage and their conversion by static transformers into currents of various voltages Notwithstanding, therefore, the frank disbelief in its practical value of eminent scientific authorities, among them the late Lord Kelvin. I entered actively into the development the alternating current system of generation and distribution of electricity which is now almost universally accepted as the ideal.

By ISSS Nikola Tesla had demonstrated the' practicability of his Induction motors. Oliver B. Shallenberger had perfected his meter for measuring alternating currents, and it had been proved that a direct current motor with laminated armature and fields could be operated either by alternating or by direct currents. I then became thoroughly imbued with the belief that further Invention and discovers" would in time make alternating current apparatus practically universal for almost every use. In the twenty years that have elapsed three important electrical systems for the operation of railways have been put into practical operation, all using alternating current in whole or in part.

These systems are: (1) The continuous or direct current system usually spoken of as the "third rail' system! which employs alternating current for transmitting power when the distance is considerable. (2) The three-phase alternating current system with two overhead trolley and (3) single-phase -nating rrrrent tension system with a slr.sr!e overhead' trolley wire. SENDS MR. O'BRIEN $2,500 M.

The machine leaders have defeated direct primaries at this special session by turni ing the Republican party, so far as they could control it, over to Tammany Hall.
