MUSIC AND DRAMA.

Our theater goers are soon to have the
opportunity of seeing the dainty little
soubrette. May Smth-Robbins, who has
gained an enviable reputation during the
past three years in the musical comedy,
Little Trixie."
Although she has been competitor for
stellar honors for only so short time, she
is fast becoming recogniz ID as one of the
most versatile condolences on the stage.
She is a wonderful little dancer, has n
sweet and pleasing voice, and is one of
those magnetic little women who become
greater favorites with their audiences on
each successive appearance.
She is now making her first tour of the
sou, Invest, and although almost entirely
unknown to the average theater patron,
has met with remarkable success.
The press has been unanimous in her
praise, and she is said to be the most
pleasing farce comedy exponent that has
ever appeared in the south.
Her company is also remarkable in the
fact that it is individually strong, and the
play is one of those light musical com
edies with quite distinct plot, but room
enough for the Introduction of twenty
two musical and speciality numbers. The
dances, songs and medleys are all re.
freshingly new and pleasing, and the en-
tertainment just the kind to send you
home feeling happier and better for hav-
ing attended the theater. AT the Craw-
ford Grand, Feb. IL.
