May Robson Tells
How Comedy Works
On Different People
MISS MAY ROBSON has been
called v the "Bernhardt" of
comedy and since her appear
ance as the star in Mary Roberts
Rinehart's stories of' "Tish" has
more .than, lived up to that reputa
tion. "The attendant joys and vicissi
tudes of every phase of theatrical
production have been mine." said
Miss IRobion. "In' comedy one
learns '.to feel out the temper of an,
audience. ; The tickline soots of an
audfence are as variable as are the.

again One night the laughlasts two
seconds and the next night two min
utes. . The - really clever actres.s
knows' how to gauge her audience
and never spoils a good laugh by
following her 'cue' too soon or not
soon enough.
"Of course I have been a sob sis
ter iii my riay, but I'm frank to
admit that from the mill of melo
drama I found only so much chaff.
Emotions in the raw always put me
on my guard. Anglo-SaxoflSaren't
given to expressing their purple pas
sions volubly: their native restraint
is far more telling. I am quite sure
that nine-tenths of the populace feel
as I do about it. That is why' I
could never feel deeply impressed
over melodramatic situations."
Written for him and for Mary E.
Ryan by George Byrd Dougherty.
Artistic oddities will be elements of
the. act presented by Tommy Hay

tative costume dances are to be pre
sented by the Clinton Sisters. The

of the featured acts of the show.
The Romas Troupe, a sextette of

delightful singer and comedienne,
has song numbers -written exclu
sively for her.

The soda dispenser in some ice
cream 'pifrlors may be jarred by
the entrance of the pair in search
of refreshment. Should he .recover
from the .shock and consent., to
serve the monkey, he will be re
warded by seeing a performance of
intelligence never before equalled by
a trained monkey, not even barring
the celebrated Consul. Afro, for that
is the chimpanzee's name, will pull
a chair out for his mistress, 'Miss
Mabel Belmont, and after bowing
will seat himself opposite her. He
will pick up the menu card, pretend
to read it and when the order given
by Miss Belmont is served, he wilV
consume his soda with as much
daintiness as a debutante. After
the beverage is consumed he will
null a small purse from his pocket
and tender a coin in payment. Then-
bowing ceremoniously, will escort
his fair mistress from the place.
Afro was presented to Miss Bel
mont when he was a tiny bit of a
monk by a friend of hers who cap-

Gerard has given the Girls De
