MISS MARY ANDERSON ON THE STAGE.
Mrs de Navarro, better known to playgoers as Miss Mary Anderson, is not one of those actresses who sigh in retirement to
rovieit the scenes of their former triumphs. At her home in Tunbridge Wells she has y been interviewed by a CasseWs Saturday Journal contributor, and h&sconGded to him the fact that sho now looks upon the stage with positive aversion. For six or seven years she loved her work, but after that the annaturalncbS of the life, its unwholesome excitement, its glitter and glare, became apparent to her eyes. First, sho grow weary of the constaut publicity of such a life, and then her feeliug became one of positive distaste. From ihe moment she bad resolved to leave the stage at the end of another season's work, her life in the theatre became unbearable. Since her retirement, she has naver for one instant wisbeii to return to her old work. Mrs de N&vtrro never advises girls to go on the !lßge. She is glad to say that twenty or thirty stage-struck girla whom she has known have wisely given up their dreams after having the whole story of a dramatic artist's life laid bare by her before them.
