ANDERSON, Mary, actress; one of the wisest women who ever
lived. In the height of a brilliant stage career she fell in
love, and decided that a quiet home with a husband and children
was more to be desired than the empty plaudits of the crowd,
and the attentions of stage-door Johnnies.

ANGELO, Mike, painter and sculptor of no mean ability. Born in
Italy, but named after Irish relatives. At school he showed
his talents by making cartoons of the teachers. These were
unappreciated. Moved to Florence, where he bought some
chisels, brushes, and saw his first model. A. remained a
bachelor. Later he moved to Rome, and began a brilliant
church-decorating career. Secured permission of the Pope to
give an exhibition in the Vatican. This was finally made
permanent. Also made a fortune erecting tomb-stones for the
Medici family, leading politicians of his time. It is difficult
to leave Italy without seeing much of his work. A. never
favored the cubists or post-impressionists. Recreations:
Painting, sculpture. Address: Rome.

ANTHONY, Saint, of Pauda. An Italian who visited Paris, and
could not forget what he saw.
