Ellen Terry

SIR.-1 was present at what I have always understood to be the last appearance of Ellen Terry and Henry Irving together. This was at the New Theatre, Oxford, in 1902. She was Portia, and Irving Shylock. May I confirm that the vivacity and youthfulness of her speech and

action were amazing.—Yours faithfully, E. C. TIPPETTS. The Vicarage, Newton-upon-Rawcliffe, Pickering.
