Her First Appearance.

Mary Anderson de Navarro in her
stage career memories, which will be
published in The Ladies' Home Jour
nal 1.-THE opening chapter in the De-
cember lssue) gives the public a most
interesting and entertaining view of
the trials and hardships she success
fully combated in following out her
conviction that the stage presented
to her the opportunity for a splendid
career. She exultantly refers 70 her
debut in Louisville, Kentucky, on
Saturday evening, November 20,
1875, upon which occasion the "tall,
shy and awkward" girl of sixteen in
terpreted Shakespeare's love-lorn
Outlet" The performance was ar
ranged upon two days notice-time
for but a single rehearsal-and the
aspiring Kentucky girl was jubilant
when the theatre and a stock COM
pany were offered her. upon condition
that she played without pay. Her
happiness, however, was u~nclouded,
for of the event she writes with
touching pathos: "That Thursday"
(the day that her first appearance
was arranged) Twas one of the hap
piest days of all my life, filled as it
was with the brightest hope and an
ticipation. Only one black cloud
hung over it; the thought of Monte
and my grandparents who were all
very dear to me. Had | known then
that I would have never seen the face
Of the former, that he would die, my
mother and | far away from him,
and that almost until his death he
would refuse to forgive Or see me I'M
less I abandoned the stage-life which
he thought SO iniurious-nay sinful
would even then have renowned what
was within my grasp. This ~estrange-
ment saddened many years Of m life,
and has cast a shadow over all the
otherwise bright and happy memories
Of him who was thefather, friend and
playmate of our childhood days"
Mrs. de Navarro evidently did not
suffer from "stage fright" the crush
ing terror of deDutantes. for she writes
that she stood im~patiently waiting
for her 'cue" to go On. At last it
came. "Then, in a fash. | was on
the stage, conscious only of a wall of
yellow light before me and a burst OF
prolonged applause" The perform
ance was filled with rather depressing
Incidents; one of the players forgot
his lines and had to be prompted by
the youthful star; "Romeo" neglected
to bring his dagger, and outlet" had
to perform her dispatch with a. hair
pin, while the lamp that hung in "Ju'
lets" tomb fell and badly burned
her hands and arms. "Despite oil
these" she writes, ''the night was g
success, and / knew that my stage
career had begun in earnest"
