She answer “ Pieorpud ?"—Boston Beacon, ‘Tite marriage of Mary Anderson to Antonio de Navarro incites anecdotes that illustrate her character. One has not yet been told which ‘concerns her in that period of her professional career when it was her delight to chew gum and to stand in the wings of the theatre and do what she could to embarrass the actors who were on the stage. Mary was playing Juliet to the Romeo of a man whom she valued as a friend, but whom she loved to worry. In the last act of the drama, when Juliet 69 is writhing over the body of Romeo, bewailing his death, Mary on an important first night in a certain city, tickled the Romeo in a way that threatened to galvanize the corpse and ruin the scene. In vain did the actor plead for mercy. He brought every whispered argument to bear upon Juliet to make her desist in her playfulness, assuring her that in another instant he would have to squeal, and so bring ridicule upon them both. | The actress did not heed. his’ prayers, however, and con- tinued to tickle him as she recited the heart-rending lines of the be- reaved Juliet. Suddenly the actor changed his tactics, and, under his breath, he uttered a string of oaths. Juliet stopped short in her lamen- tations and trembled, Then she went on, and Romeo was saved. After the performance, it was very difficult for the actor to convince the offended queen of tragedy that he was driven to the heroic measure of swearing by her own deviltry. She finally admitted that Her mischief was more serious than she had fancied, but she declared that the oaths were unnecessarily violent. —Argonaut.

Nothin’, only I put a hunk of gum on that extra chair in the parlor before he came, and it's still there this morning. That's all."—Chicago Tribune.
