standing on the curb outside of a hat

the crowd to the front rank were sur

MAY ROBSON.

NAV Robson has achieved the un-
usual distinction of being the best de-
lineator of eccentric women having a
quaint humor. 1t has been stated and
the statement frequently repeated, that
women in general have no keen sense
of humor. Miss Robson is assuredly
living contradiction to this asser-
ton. May Robson is an actress OF ex-
quisite pose, enunciation clear and
distinct, and her transitions from
touching pathos to joviality is a reve-
lation. In the new play, "a Night
Out" she will appear in the character
OF a good natured, but eccentric old
lady who is held in great esteem by
her two grandsons, since she simply
dotes on them and enters into their
love troubles, acting as a sort of a
guardian; therefore, she easily per-
suades the boys to take her to fash
lonable restaurant in New York She
is entirely innocent of the character
of the place, and is enjoying the nov
city of the surroundings, when the
police raid the place. "Grannum' and
the boys are hustled into the street
by Mitza, the dancing girl, and a po-
liceman, whom Granmum has bribed
Arriving home they find the doors
locked and the lights out. The boys
overcome this by climbing up the ivy
and assisting Granmum through the
window. Her hat is crushed, jacket
torn, appearance generally not of the
very best. The complications arising
from this early morning return forms
the basis of the humor and ludicrous
situations. The character of Gran
mum" affords Miss Robson full oppor-
tunity for her natural gifts in the
portrayal of eccentric characters, in
which the expressions Of pathos and
humor are alternately and naturally
expressed. Miss Robson will appear
at the Grand April 20, supported by
