her acquaintance with him by writing

lions and her money, and they were married.
His charges against her are mysterious; hers
Against him are trivial. The fact ia. that her
first husband only stood her for week, so the
record is against her. In 9 public interview,
describing how he stayed away from her, she
says: '"Ihe next morning The hotel proprietor
telegraphed me that he was ill with cholera
morbus. Then he came home and kissed me:

don't blame him; should have thought he
might have had the delirium tremens. The
whole thing is disgusting and disgraceful, even
as stage scandal.

LETTER FROM MARY.
friend of mine had letter from Mary
Anderson the other day. Mary is in London,
thing away However. here goes, and this is
what she says: Il have been enjoying myself
pretty steadily. You know l like to go to
theaters above everything else, aud now that
have nothing else to do have beeu making the
most OF the opportunity. The London theaters
DO not leave our own playhouses out OF sight,
by any means. The Savoy and the Haymarket
are very handsome edifces but they are not
handsomer than the Madison Square, Casino.
Grand Opera house, or Fifth Avenue. The
average OF the acting is pretty good, but no
better than what we see in America. Mr..
Irving and MIR. Bancroft produce their plays
more evenly we'll than any other managers
over here. Mr.. Irving is a matchless stage
manager. AS an actor, you will be the best
judges when he comes over. To me, in spite
than | ever saw in any other actor.
there is great charm in his work He under
stands every point, and he knows just how to
make everything tell. He viii make q great
excitement in America, and will divide the crit
les widely. In regard to my own engagement
in London, 1t certainly looks well-so we'll that
l am very little concerned about the result It
IL wrong to suppose there is prejudice III
England against American artists The pref

been received with marked courtesy and kind
ness All these compliments would have
turned my head, only that it is pretty we'll fast
eued on by this time Mr.. Abbey has engaged
Mr. j. H. Barnes TO support me. You have al

some man and good actor. Several members
work hard and seriously, and I really think
the chances Of success are with me. Good BY.
l am homesick already, and would give good
deal to be in New York just for day."
1t has como to be fact in theatrical matters
hereabonts that two or three managers have
cornered pretty much all the stock talent in
America Between Stetson and the Madison
