May Robson In 1.-THE RejuvenatIon o
Aunt Mary"


May Robson will open the dramatic
season at the Opera house Sept. l IN
THE Regeneration of Aunt Mary the
comedy in which she has nightly for
the past year pleased large audiences.
Miss Robson is delightful in her quaint
role of Aunt Mary, which is well adapt
ed to her laugh provoking capabilities
and, at the same time, one that gives
her opportunity for work of the more
subtle sort
Aunt Mary is 50 funny that the three
acts ripple. and bubble with laughter.
Miss Robson loses her own identity
completely in the role. Her quiet, old
fashioned wit and humor is spontanc>
Gus, and mixed with the sadness that
her nephew brings into her life, alter
nately lightens and saddens her audi
ence.
May Robson as "Aunt Mary" stands
alone. She has created a distinct char
acter and acts it with such fidelity that
we might easily imagine her the Aunt
Mary of our own home. Seats on sale
