Grant in James See also:Albery's The Two See also:Roses, which was produced at the See also:Vaudeville on the 4th of See also:June 187o and ran for 300 nights
.
In 1871 he began his' association with the See also:Lyceum Theatre by an engagement under See also:Bateman's management
.
The fortunes of the See also:house were at- a See also:low ebb when the See also:tide was turned by Irving''s immediate success as Mathias in The Bells, a version of Erckmann-Chatrian's Le Juif Polonais by See also:Leopold See also:Lewis
.
The play ran for 150 nights; With See also:Miss Bateman, Irving was seen in W

G
.
See also:Wills's Charles I. and See also:Eugene See also:Aram, in Richelieu, and in 1874 in See also:Hamlet
.
The unconventionality of this last performance, during a run of 200 nights, aroused keen discussion, and singled him out as the most interesting English actor of his See also:day
.
In 1875, still with Miss Bateman, he was seen as See also:Macbeth; in 1876 as Othello, and as See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)

.
In 1878 Irving opened the Lyceum under his own management
.
With Ellen Terry as Ophelia and Portia, he revived Hamlet and produced The See also:Merchant of See also:Venice (1879)
.
His' Shylock was as much discussed as his Hamlet had been, the dignity with which he invested the See also:Jew marking a departure from the traditional See also:- INTERPRETATION (from Lat. interpretari, to expound, explain, inter pres, an agent, go-between, interpreter; inter, between, and the root pret-, possibly connected with that seen either in Greek 4 p4'ew, to speak, or irpa-rrecv, to do)
interpretation of the role, and pleasing some as much as it offended others
.
After the See also:production of Tennyson's The See also:Cup, a revival of Othello (in which Irving played Iago to the Othello of See also:Edwin See also:Booth) and of Romeo and Juliet, there began a See also:period at the Lyceum which had a potent effect on the English See also:stage
.
The Lyceum stage management, and the brilliancy of its productions in scenery, dressing and accessories; were revelations in the See also:art of See also:mise-en-See also:scene

.
During these years too, Irving, with the whole Lyceum company, paid several visits to See also:America, which met with conspicuous success, and were repeated in succeeding years
.
The See also:chief remaining novelties at the Lyceum during Irving's See also:sole managership (the theatre passed, at the beginning of 1899, into the hands of a limited liability company) were Comyns Carr's King See also:Arthur in 1895; Cymbeline, in which Irving played Iachimo, in 1896; See also:Sardou's Madame Sans-Geene in 1897; See also:- PETER

Peter the See also:Great, a play by Laurence Irving, the actor's second son, in 1898; and Conan See also:Doyle's See also:Waterloo (1894)
.
The new regime at the Lyceum was signalized by the production of Sardou's See also:Robespierre in 1899, in which Irving reappeared after a serious illness, and in 1901 by an elaborate revival of See also:Coriolanus
.
Irving's only subsequent production in London was Sardou's See also:Dante (1903), a vast spectacular See also:drama, staged at Drury Lane
.
He died " on tour " at See also:Bradford on the 13th of See also:October 1905, and was buried in See also:Westminster See also:Abbey
.
Both on and off the stage Irving always maintained a high ideal of his profession, and in 1895 he received the See also:honour of See also:knighthood, the first ever accorded an actor
.
He was also the recipient of honorary degrees from the See also:universities of See also:Dublin, See also:Cambridge and See also:Glasgow
.
His acting, apart from his See also:genius as a presenter of plays, divided See also:criticism, opinions differing as to the extent to which his mannerisms of See also:voice and deportment interfered with or assisted the expression of his ideas
.
So strongly marked a See also:personality as his could not help giving its own colouring to whatever See also:part he might assume, but the richness and originality of this colouring at its best cannot be denied, any more than the spirit and See also:intellect which characterized his renderings
.
At the least, extraordinary versatility must be conceded to an actor who could satisfy exacting audiences in roles so widely different as Digby Grant and See also:- LOUIS
