Miss MARY Anderson may again act
in New York. This bare announce
ment caused something akin to SEN
sation the oGher day when it was heard
in the theatrical district. The question
manager, when is she to come and
what plays will be in her repertoire e
Soma of the wiseacres began telling
how they had predicted all along that
Our Mary would sooner or later
yield to the fascination of the foot
lights and forget her vow to stick to
domestic life for the remainder of her
days. But Miss Anderson is not to
come back for professional engage
ment She is still Nine de Navarro
and will so continue, so far as her init
mates now know It is friendship for
Miss Clara Morris which may bring
Miss Anderson again before an audi.
ence in New York. She has expressed
a desire to take part in the benefit
which is now being arranged to relieve
the financial distress Of her famous
former rival on the stage, and in letters
to friends there she declares her inten-
ton Of gratifying 1T If she can order
her personal affairs to permit the in
diligence. Miss Anderson has had re-
peated offers to return to the stage
since her retirement dozen years ago.
She could have named her own terms
for farewell tour of her native
land. Every New York manager of
prominence, knowing how difficult it
is for the successful player to retire
permanently, has tried to get in touch
with Miss Anderson whenever he Wis
tied London, each year hoping the time
had come when she was ready to re-
enter the theatrical arena. Except to
give an occasional dramatic reading
or recitation for charity in England.
Miss Anderson, however, has refused
to appear on the stage in any capacity.
When Miss Anderson arrives in New
York next month"; she comes-she is
certain to find an emissary from each
of the big producers at the entrance to
her hotel, holding out blank contracts
and begging her to fill them in with any
figures she sees fit Miss Anderson
will, of course. select the act in which
she will appear. 1t may be as Mer-
cedes, or Hermoine, or Juliet, the prob
ability being that she will select the
balcony scene from Romeo and
Juliet" The Romeo would be selected
over here by those having the benefit
in charge with the likelihood Of their
choice falling upon Kyrle Be11ew.
