Her Life with Economical Mr.. Navarro IL
UnpIeasant-She May Act Again.
LONDON, April 1.-THE story that
Mary Anderson de Navarro had become
a mother is untrue. 1t is well known
that since the marriage the Navarros
have lived in great retirement, and a
mystery has seemed to surround their
movements and their place of
abode. Mary Anderson's mother, sis
ter and brother have been staying
at the Metropole with Mr.. and Mrs.
Navarro. The married pair practiced
severe economy during their stay, and
Mary has been i'll all the time, with
physician in constant attendance. The
great actress was very melancholy and
unhappy and Mr.. Navarro very morose.
They talk very little to anybody, and
there is little doubt that she desires to
return to the stage. Her friends are
confident that eventually she will do so.
