The Hypnotic Drama.

ing Influence may be exerted upon the noble
mans daughter, an invalid. The girl is supposed
TO live without eating. OF course she is an inn

when Mary Was KIttenisb.

Tie marriage OF Mary Anderson TO Antonio de
Navarro incites anecdotes that Illustrate her
character. One has not yet been told which con.
her in that period Of her professional
career when 1t her delight TO chew gum and
to stand in The wings OF the theaier and do what
she could to embarrass the actors who were on
the stage. Mary was playing Julietto the Romeo
of man whom she valued as friend but whom
she loved TO worry. In the last act Of the drama,
when Juliet Is writing over the body OF Romeo
bewalllng his death, Mary, on an important first
night in a certain city, tickled The Romeo in
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
playiulness, assuring her that in another instant
lie would have to squea. and bring ridicule
upon them both. The actress did not heed his
prayers, however, and continued to tickle him
as she ecied the heart-rendmg lines of the be-
reaved Juliet. suddenly the actor changed his
tactics and under his breath, he uttered a sitting
of oalhs. Juliet stopped short in her lamena-
tons and tTembed. Then she went on, and
Romeo was saved. After the performance it was
very difficult for the actor convince he infur-
ated queen OF tragedy that he was driven to the
heroic measure of swearing by her own deviltry.
She finally decided that her mischief more

An article lately published In the FortnIghtly
Review, written by Mr.. Oswald Crawfurd. takes
the ground that the system Of professional bust
ness which uuiled In one person tile duties OF both
actor and manager was impairing the efficiency
OF the British stage. and, we presume, by par
fly OF reasoning, the same cause would be cred
ited with equally miSchievOns effects, past and
present, TO the stage In this country. Crawfurd's
article has evolved much discussion, and Messrs.
Irving, Tree, Windham and Archer have gone
into PRINT on the subject Archers opinion,
printed IN the London World, is to the following
effect: "Brlefy, the objections 10 the aetor-man-
ageT system are three-iOld. First, II injuries the
art Of the actor himself No actor ever gave full
play to his powers by doing only the things lie
least resistance, and living his whole artistic
life so to speak, with tie llmelight 10 his face.
In the second place The system Is EuinOuS to dfa-
matte literature, placing the dfamatist entirely
at The mercy Of the actor, whose critical ludg-
ment or he ever had any is Always marred by
is unfair TO lie actors who are not managers
not las Mr.. CTawfurd wrongly argued IN his pre-
viOus article) because the actor-manager always
surrounds himself with nOuenttles, but because
he takes good care that, however able his sup
porters may be, they shall always be bis support
erS, and nothing else" This may be true In a
measure; but so far as the stage 10 the United
States is concerned II saw some OF its best days
when controlled by actor-managers. The names
of Sol. Smith, Ludlow, Mitchell, Burton, Placide,
and others, and in later days, especially In this
city, Lawrence Barrett and John Mccullough
