Stoker’s account of Irving’s honours and box-office success
24 December 1904 · Evening Star
Estate summary
The Evening Star quotes Bram’s appreciation of Irving in the Manchester Guardian. It lists the actor’s knighthood, university honours and recognition at the Royal Academy, then turns to the financial scale of his career. Bram puts British and American box-office receipts since 1878 at more than two and an eighth million pounds and says that the money passed through his hands. The extract matters because it links a contemporary public assessment of Irving with Bram’s direct experience of theatre management. The figure is his reported estimate, rather than a new Estate audit of the accounts. The original Guardian article’s date remains to be traced.
