studio. Into this happy party ventures
q money lender. who receives rough
treatment and demands redress. Among

bourg, described by himself as the
biggest fool in France. AS Brissard is
about to be taken away to prison the
Grand Duke Rutzinov appears with a
proposition which the Count accepts to

The second act setting is the recep-
tion hall of the grand dukes home In
Paris. Three months have expired and

ously he has followed her unlimited to

using an assumed name: he presses his
suit in the most arduous manner and
captiyates Angelo. Their little conf
dences that they are both married and
both about to be divorced without either

MAY ROBSON HERE
IN LATEST COMEDY
Her New Play, of Which She
Is Co-Author, Is Entitled
"A Night Out

May Robson, who will appear in the
Columbia Theater this week. is a true
comcdienne of rare grace and charm,
which is evidenced in the. portrayal OF
Aunt Mary" Her methods are clean
cut and without the efforts to obtain
laugh at the. expense of good taste nor
does she fly from one extreme to the
other. Her acting is consistent, main
tanning rigidly the character even to
the curtain falls. The Offering will be
her latest successful comedy. ~ Night
Out" of which she is co-authur The
story in the play is interesting and un-
conventional. Mrs. Winnifred Wood
bury. one of those fortunate women
who never grow old. is passing the
summer at her beautiful country place
on the Hudson. not far from New York.
Her daughter. Mrs. Marie Haslam, and
her two grandsOns. Jack and Paul. are
with her. Between Mrs. Haslam and
"Granmum,' as Mrs. Woodbury. is ef-
fectionately called, there is a strange
contrast. Granmum is always merry.
bright and full of life. Her daughter
Marie is solemn. strict and Puritanical.
traits she inherits from ner father
The boys, as is often the case by
force of heredty. resemble IN tempera-
ment and disposition their grandmother.
Their mother rules them with rod of
iron, denies them the usual innocent
pleasures of boyhood, and they natur-
ally rebel. They have more than once
slipped out of the house and gone to
the city to visit a jolly, Bohemian sort
Of restaurant where there is good food,
fun. music and excellent dancing.
Uranium discovers this and begs the
boys to take her with them just once
so she can see for herself if it is really
a proper place for them to visit. They
finally consent. Unfortunately. on the
night of their visit the place is raided
for selling liquor after midnight. and
the names of the boys get into the pa
pers.
Troubles thicken about Granmum and
the boys. \ $1,000 bond has been stolen
from Granmum's safety deposit box in
the local bank. AS she has intrusted
the key to them and to no one else
than her grandsons. it seems as if one
-of them must certainly be guilty. Com
plications are piled up and the net
grows closer and closer around them.
How IL is finally cleared up and the
boys again enjoy Granmum's confidence
and gain the love of two charming
girls furnishes a story replete with
comedy and interest.
