MISS MARION TERRY.
Miss Marion Terry is a clever member of a clever family, and her
ability developed itself early. Already at the age of six (as in the
first portrait above given) she was appearing in the part of little
_Sybil_ in Tom Taylor's play, "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing." This
childish effort was followed up by others more successful still, and,
at the age at which our second portrait represents her, she had made
a strong impression, as a mature actress, in the exacting part of
_Ophelia_. Then she appeared in several of Mr. W. S. Gilbert's dramas,
as _Dorothy_ in "Dan'l Druce," and as _Galatea_ in "Pygmalion and
Galatea." Since that time Miss Marion Terry has played many parts, and
with the same unvarying success, in which her natural capacity is aided
by her grace of action and the striking charm of her appearance.

WILLIAM TERRISS.
+Born 1849.+
At nine years old, William Lewin (for Terriss is only a stage name,
and the popular actor is in reality the son of Mr. Herbert Lewin,
the barrister, and a nephew of George Grote, the celebrated Greek
historian) was at school at Dr. Grix's, Littlehampton. He afterwards
had several years' experience first as a sheep-farmer in South America,
and then in North America as a horse-breeder; but at the age of our
second portrait he had returned to England, and had appeared upon the
stage in the part of _Nicholas Nickleby_ at the Adelphi. From that time
his success was certain, and has ever since been growing. At thirty,
Mr. Terriss was playing _Captain Molyneux_ in the "Shaughraun," with
Dion Boucicault, on the first production of that play in England. Our
last portrait shows him as Mr. Irving's chief supporter, and, now as
ever, an immense favourite with his brother professionals. Mr. Terriss
holds the medal of the Royal Humane Society for saving life at sea.
We are indebted to the courtesy of Mr. Terriss for permission to
reproduce these photographs.
