H. B. IRVING IN UNION AT 8

Mr. H. B. Irving M.A., who has been playing in repertoire during the past week at the Colonial Theatre, Boston, will give an address on "The Art and Status of the Actor" in the Living Room of the Union this evening at 8 o'clock.

Mr. Irving is a graduate of New College, Oxford, and a member of the English Bar, Inner Temple. Though a young man he has already reached distinction in the art of his father. He first made a name for himself as Mr. Crichton in "The Admirable Crichton." Two years ago he achieved a noteworthy success as Hamlet at the Adelphi Theatre in London. In the plays which Mr. Irving has given during his last engagement in Boston he showed his great width of range and mastery of his art. Contrary to the popular opinion Mr. Irving is in many ways unlike his father in his manner of conception and mode of acting. Besides being a fluent speaker he has written a number of treatises on his art and several books which have attracted much favorable attention.

This lecture is open only to members of the Union and membership tickets must be shown at the door.
