Mary Anderson.

Mary Anderson De Navarro, in recount.
ing her early stage experience in The La
dies Home Journal, asserts that New Or
leans audiences were the first to give her
recognition of substantial sort, and OF
the Crescent City she speaks with genuine
fondness. Rather oddly it was In Meg
Merrilies" that she won the favor and
plaudits of the New Orleans public. The
house on the occasion Of her presentation
of the play was crowded and the audience
wildly enthusiastic. "There wero speeches
and presentations, writes Mrs. De Ma
yarro, land checks concealed in baskets
of flowers were handed over the foot
lights" One gift that came Oh that night
to the aspiring young actress and brought
her much Joy was Washington artillery
badge, which made her member OF the
battalion that won the name of the Tigers
In the late war.
