Mary Anderson and the Princess Of

| Special to the World. |

London, October 27-10 p. M.
Miss Mary Anderson appeared at
the Lyceum Theatre to night as
Pauline, in the 4" Lady of Lyons"
and scored another triumph. The
audience showed no marked signs
of interest until ths fourth net
was reached, when the applause
became an ont burst of enthusiasm
which continued so long after the
curtain had fallen that Miss An
derson was led to the footlights
three times before quiet was re.
stored. Mr.. Barnes played Claude
Melnotte. The house was crowd.
ed to oyertlowirg, among those
present being the Prince aud
Princess Of Wales.
1t has leaked out that tho Prince
of Wales has called Miss Andcr-
son to account for her reported
utterauces concerning him. At
the interview which took place
the other night at the Lyceum
Theatre, the first question blnrtcd
out by his Royal higllness was: Is
it true that you said you wouldn't
see me?n
Miss Anderson replied with a
great deal Of apparent embarrass.
ment: ~ said that | would not
seek the honor.'
This was 80 apparent an evasion
that a great deal of comment has
been passed in high quarters, and
society circles profess themselves
to be profoundly astonished at the
lack of spirit shown by the
Princess of Wales in honoring
Miss Anderson with her presence
at one of her representations.
The Princess before deciding to
invite Miss Anderson to the royal
box sent for Mr.. Griffin, her mana
GER. and questioned him closely
concerning the lady's repertoire,
the number of years she had been
on the stage, &c, The Princess
then intirnatcd that she wished to
see Miss Anderson and requested
Mr.. Griffin to seni her in.
Miss Anderson, who under the
circumstances did not particularly
relish the meeting, sent back word
that she had made it u rule never
to see outsiders during q per.
formance, and that even OH this
occasion she preferred not to
break it. She said, however, that
she would be most happy to meet
their Royal Highncsses when she
had finished her performance
The Princess then said; awe
never wait after the end ofa piece,
and the negotiations apparently
closed.
The piece went on and the royal
party remained, and when 1t was
over Miss Anderson was surprised
by her manager, who came with
the announcement that their Royal
Highnesses were waiting in the
passage to see her. There was of
course no further escape, and she
Immediately went from the stage
and met them The lady's per
formance had been so pleasing
that the Princess had apparently
forgotten what under ordinary
circumstances would have amount
cd to an affront, and was effusive-
IL cordial in hcr greeting. The
Prince was inclined to be little
more reserved. aud asked the
