At this period Miss Sargent played child's parts with the late Sir Henry Irving at tho Lyceum Theatre, London. Light opera, burlesque, farce comedy, are th* vehicles sho chose when she grew out of infunt roles. Among the various experiences of Miss Sargent was a tour of America. "What struck' me most, that is, in a purely personal way,", she observes, "was tho different receptions we had socially in cities. In New Ifark we were made a great fuss of; in Washington were cold-shouldered." It is Miss Sdrgent that gives the sensational dance in the "King of Cadonia," "The Dance des Apaches." With Mr Bert Gilbert, she shares the honour of appearing in one of the most astonishing terpsichorean efforts, ever seen south of the line.
