THE THEATRE.
23 May 1908 · Dominion
Estate summary
A Dominion theatre column recounts an anecdote about Edward German’s fee for the Lyceum production of Henry VIII. Having accepted the music, Irving asks Bram what Sullivan had been paid for Macbeth and offers German the same sum. The story presents Bram as the person able to supply the company’s financial precedent and Irving as a generous employer. It is a brief item within a much longer column reviewing plays and reporting theatrical news, rather than an interview with Bram or a separate article about him. Its interest lies in a specific glimpse of Lyceum working practice; the anecdote is reported rather than independently corroborated.
