THEATRICAL NOTES.
4 report has been current for some time,
saws the Chicago Mail, that Mary Anderson
be- married % Antonio de Navarro, young
New Yorker. This report is now vigorously
denied, and a d0ting public will once more
have 10 decide that "Our Mary has no
heart. 10 seems that young de Navarro
has been i'm love with the fair tragedienne
for some time, and that be crossed the ocean
ON four occasions 10 offer his hand and
heart. each time 10 be assured that the
pretty actress could not accept him
Tor "A husband. but was willing 10 be a sister
20 him. The young fellow seems 10 have
become recOnciled 10 this state Of affairs,
and il reported 10 have been In love with
several beautiful girls since he found that
his suit for Mary's hand was unaNallng.
and i'm each Of these affairs the actress has
been his cOnidant. As nothing serious has
resulted from these love affairs, IL is possible
that de Navarro is engaging in them for the
sake of having an excuse for talking 10 the
Anderson. for which he will no doubt be
forgiven.
Lawrence Barrett is conyalescing at the
IOuisburg Hospital, in Boston. 10 Is not
generally known that the recent surgical
operation which he underwent was cN-
tremey dangerous. His physicians say
that he stood an even chance Of death. No
further trouble Of the same kind is likely 10
oyertake him. lie will sail soon for Eu-
rope.
Mrs. James Brown Potter has completed
her wardrobe, and is now prepared 10 sail
Tor Australia. II wouldn't be- a bad idea il
the lady would take Alexandria i'm her way
and see whether tle Egyptians appreciate
her conception OF Cleopatra.
4 New York man is dramatizing the
story Of Abelard and Helose. from the
..original letters written in Latin" Young
and romantic persons who may witness this
play. when 10 is presented, may lay in a
plentiful supply 0f pocket linen. It will
cost $4,000 90 produce the play. Ellie
shannon is suggested for the role Of Iel0ise
and Maurice Barrymore for Abelard.
The Black Cat, referring 40 lbsen's "A
DOlrs House." now being again presented
for the consideration Of the American pub

and disgusting in its ending"
