VERSATILE MAY RoBsoN
AT OPERA HOUSE

Al Manager Fuson's Grants Pass
opera house last night, Miss May Rob
son, perhaps the most versatile OF
American actresses, and one of the
nost charming. presented. before a
large and enthusiastic audience. The
comedy indeed it Is nearer to pure
farce--in three acts, The Rejuvena-
tion of Aunt Mary" by Anne War
ner.
AS almost everyone mas read the
story of which the play is a dramat-
i2ation, 1t is necessary to give only
q brief outline thereof,
Aunt Mary Watkins is a New Eng
land spinster, who, waiting, waiting,
as the shadows longer grow, for the
over that never returned has not al
loved dourness to permeate her char.
acter nor mar life's incompleteness.
She centers her affections and lavish
es her generosity on her young
nephew, "Denham Jack" whose many
es,capades at college furnish most OF
the excuse for plot to the comedy,
If, indeed, there is a plot beyond one
of the threadbare variety. Nephew
Jack comes out all right in the end,
falls in love with his friends sister,
Betty Burnett, whom Aunt Mary met
at the formers New York home, Bet
~ donnlng the habiliments of serv-
ing maid to Aunt Mary duriag the lat
ter's visit to the metropolis. II is
during this visit-depicted In the
second act--that the comedy touches
a high, rolicking, uproariously happy
plane.
Miss Robson's voice, always her
giory work and the years have scarce
y encroached upon. That she is more
rcqual 10 the pantomimic require
ments of the part goes without say
ing, and In the tender scenes Of the
comedy her reading OF her lines
uakes the eyes moisten and the throat
thicken
The supporting company, II not
great, is adequate.
Jack Story as the nephew, looked
like Mike Donlin, held his head like
drum major, spoke his lines with
the utmost intelligence and ease, and
irterpolated some songs to his own
accompaniment agreeably. Paul Deck
er, Arthur Deering and John Nc
Mahon We're satisfactory in the roles
OF Jacks" college chums, especially
MIR. Decker as Mitchell" Lotta
Blake as Mrs. Daisy Mullens, made
much out Of very small part
But the honors Of the performance,
tho star excepted, belong easily to
Faye Cusick, a ravishingly beautiful
lgih with dulcet tones of vocal velvet
and score Of pretty mannerisms,
VINO, as Fanny Burnett" scared
around the stage like a golden swal-
low, potential to invigorate, enthrall
and heal. Even the gray-ha!red fel.
US were enslaved by her.

Of a small stream known as Spout
Run to the Great Falls tracks below
Dominion Heights, about mile from

Many different routes have been
given out at various times since the
rumors concerning the new road were
circulated. about month ago, on the
authority of persons high up In rail-
road circles, but the fact that this re-
port comes. directly from Joseph r.
