Show MAY ROBSON i On Thursday next at the Salt Lake theatre a new'comedy will be disclosed, and the announce ment that May Robson is to bo seen in the principal prin-cipal character is good news to her Salt Lake friends. The title of the comedy is "Martha By-The-Day," and the vehicle is the author's dramatization of one of the best likei books, of lighter vein, given to the public during the past year. When Julie M. Llppmann offered the "Martha" stories to American readers their success suc-cess was immediate as there was no resisting the appeal of the quaint humor and homely sentiment that was found between the covers of the book. The part of Martha Slawson, the glorified scrubwoman, scrub-woman, is ideal for presentation by May Robson, who specializes in characterizations of eccentric middle-aged women. The comedy is entirely native na-tive in its plot and characters, and is said to be full of bright lines and novel situations. In addition ad-dition to the possibilities of the central character, charac-ter, the play gives opportunities for some fine acting by the cast that has been gathered for Miss Robson's support. |
