Sketches at the Lyceum: "The Cup" - Mr. Irving as Synorix, 1881. London stage production. 'No greater proof could be found, perhaps, of the firm hold obtained by the existing programme at the Lyceum on the public favour than the fact that the audiences at the theatre under the management of Mr. Henry Irving showed, even at the acutest period of the recent Great Frost, fewer signs of diminution than were visible at any other place of entertainment in the metropolis...The constancy with which these courageous playgoers night after night supported Mr. Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry approached the marvellous...In further illustration of the leading characters in Mr. Tennyson's drama, the artist gives us a full-length portrait study of Mr. Irving as Synorix, in his mantle of leopard-skin and the strangely barbaric yet tasteful panoply of an Asiatic chieftain in antique times - a costume evolved from the essentially artistic mind of the actor-manager at the Lyceum'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
