Sketches at the Lyceum: "The Cup:" - Mr. Terriss as Sinnatus - The Chase. "The Corsican Brothers:" - Fabien with the peasants, 1881. '[Our illustration of] the first "Ghost Scene" in "The Corsican Brothers," with Mr. Irving as Fabien de' Franchi, needs literally no explanation. It may be fairly said to speak for itself; and, like a Corporation Address to Royalty, may be "taken as read." So, likewise, that of Fabien effecting the reconciliation between the hostile peasant families. Everybody has seen "The Corsican Brothers" at the Lyceum, and most people will see it again and again in eager relays...Our artist has also done graphic justice to Mr. Terriss, in his appearance as the uxorious and unfortunate Tetrarch Sinnatus, who is shown at the moment when, in the first act of "The Cup," he traverses the rocky scenery in the pursuit of his beloved chase, javelin in hand, and followed by a meute of baying staghounds. Mr. Terriss's interpretation of Sinnatus is a very manly and dignified one; and his costume, although at first sight somewhat bizarre, is as strikingly picturesque as that of one of the Dacian kings in "Hope's Costumes of the Ancients".'
