 MISS MAY ROBSON.
 The New York Evening Post recently said of May Robson and ''The ReJu- venation of Aunt Mary which star and play will be the attraction at Jackson's theatre Friday night and Saturady matinee and evening":
 The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary IS full of tenderness, pathos and humor. The keynote of the play is contained in the closing lines of Aunt Mary. who says God intended for us all to De happy-cnly some of use don't know just how to set about-that's all As presented by Miss May Robson and company The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary proved to be one of the distinct comedy offerings of the season ana the rraise of the first nighters will doupt- less pack the house during the contln- uance of the piece. Miss May Robson, of course, takes the part of Aunt Mary and she ap- pears as an elderly maiden lady, Who because she has no children or her own, has a great fondness for the chil7 of 0th oSnooiaI1y fOr nanh0W This young chap is no worse than others of his age and he becomes in yolyeA sometimes innocently, in so many scrapes that the aunt becomes shocked and finally decides to leave her fortune to others. Another scrape into which the nephew fills in. New York promises to result so d1saStrouSly however that the aunt goes to the clty to find him. Here she is received by group of friends of her nephew, who give dinner in her honor ana take her out in an automobile to see the town including roof gardens and other places, never dreamed of in her phil osophy The result is a thorough re- juvenation of the old lady, and she IS enabled, to take a much more lenient view of the mischief making of the young man whom she loves so deVot- edly.

 MIME. SEMBRICH CONCERT.
 "I can scarcely remember when was not studying music,' declared Mme Sembrich, who will appear at next, under the auspices of the We'd nesday Afternoon Musical Club. At four I was playing the piano. At six I took up the violin, using an instru- ment that my father mace for me Within two years I was playing with my father in concert. Then used to play both the violin and piano, and never thought of singing. Ours was musical family, but it had never pro- duced singers. When I was eleven my father had taught me all that he knew about the piano. After a family con- sultation it was decided that l should go to Lemberg and study under a well known teacher of the piano, William Stengal Nobody ever thought that afterward he would become my hus- band, but such eventually did happen, and we have lived happily together ever after
 It was several years after beginning her piano studies with Herr Stengel that Mme Senlbrich devoted herself to the serious study of singing, which has since made her world famous. Seats are now on sale.
