Miss Robson stands alone in so
far as she is the only American
actress who In one season achieved
synchrOnic success, both in Lon
don and New York. with her pre-
sentation of Merely Mary Ann"
Israel Zangwill's marvelously
touching little comedy by the same
name.
Miss Robson feels particularly
delighted with her success in
Merely Mary Ann" because she
herself was responsible for the
writing of the play. Crossing in an
ocean steamer, she picked up a
volume of Zangwill's short stories,
one of which was Merely Mary
Ann" The young actress was SO
impressed with the dramatic posi-
bilities of this tale that immediate
ly upon her arrival in London she
besought the distinguished English
author to dramatic Merely Mary
Ann" for her use.
Mr.. aZngwill consented and the
play was first produced in Chicago,
where it achieved an enormous sue
cess. From Chicago the production
was taken to New York, where
Merely Mary Ann" was played for
nearly seven months at four differ
ent theaters.

"The Girl From Kay's" was pre-

The play is a choice bit of English
comedy 1t Is clever from start to
finish. Some hypercritical persons
might thing it somewhat suggestive
in spots, but 1t never gets beyond
the suggestive point.
The company presenting it is an
other matter 1t is another case
of one or two good men trying to
carry a company. North as Hog
genheimer is exceedingly good. The
other lead parts are fair, but with

The inherent merit of the piece

Barney Mullin, Spokane's fast
middle-weight fighter, announces he
will post a forfeit to fight Boomer"
Weeks, who is to meet Gotch on
Sept. 30.
Mullin says he will fight Weeks
any time after the fireman's fight
with Gotch. The conditions of the
fight have not yet been arranged,
although Mullin says he is willing
to meet Weeks at any weight.
Il think l can give Weeks a go
for his money" said Mullin this
morning. 'He is, of course, awfully
strong, but then l think with fast
ring work l could keep away from
him and win on points. OF course,
if he should land a chance fast one,
it would be all off with me, but I'm
willing to give him a go anyway"
Weeks stated he is willing enough
to fight Mullin, but would wait until
his coming fight is over before de-
Gliding upon any arrangements.
Last Sunday Mullin and Weeks
had a fast go for two or three rounds
in the fireman's training quarters,
No. fire station. Although Mullin
was not in the best of training, he
| showed his superiority in ring gen.
| eralship to such an extent as to
render his chances with Weeks for
| a six-round bout, or even 10-round
go, very good.
| Gotch has now secured the SER
| vices of Jack Ashley, a clever middle
weight man, who will act as his
| trainer until the Iowan meets Weeks
Ashley has fought several clever
lights during the past two years.
His exhibition against Jack Root and
| toured the country as the sparring
partner of John l.. Sullivan, were
very creditable. Although defeated
Ashley showed that he knew the
tricks of the ring. He intends to
take up training, as he is better in
| that field than in the ring. Ashley
SAYS otch needs but little attention
physically. He will devote his time
to developing Gotch in speed and
