T HE manager. who surrounds

porting company is courtinS
financial failure. Especially is
this true. when the star is just enter
ing upon his or her era OF ''stellaruUm. ="
An example of this penny wisdom vas
seen at the Columbia Theater last week
when May Robson appeared in a clean,
clever. and unique comedy with a sup
port so execrable that it became a de-
cided hindrance rather than an aid to
the stars capital Characterization. The
men of the company shouted rather
than spoke their lines, and their at
tenpts at the portrayal OF youthful ex-
uberance Of spirit resembled the cavort-
ing Of clowns. The love interest of the
delightful story was almost totally de-
stroyed by the inane interpretations Of
the stage lovers. There was much
saving Of the air, and many grimaces
which to the constant playgoer could
be translated as an attempt at. acting,
but to the unirltiated must have seemed
a plethora of insunerable and unin-
telligible ranting.
The work Of Miss Robson saved the
performance, and afforded the audience
real entertainment. There was a wealth
of humor in her Characterization and
many charming touches of human ma
ture which brought 20 the mind OF each
spectator some Aunt Mary OF his
own experience. But aside from he
