May Robson Doesn't Shine in “The Three Lights” BY CHARLES DARNTON. VIDENTLY Miss May Robson intends to play gay and festive old ladies to E the end'of her days. She was at it again at the Bijou Theatre lastnight. { This time tt was “The Three Lights,” a faint reflection, it were, of “The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary.’ Once more Miss Robson wore hair that had geen brighter days and adorned a plain past with a brocaded present. She was “Granmuin" in name only. Her one purpose was to show us that age 1s a mis. taken idea. She saw her youth, out of which she had emerged rich én everything but experience—she saw her youth, let dt be repeated, as she was so fond of repeating it, in her two grandsons. Her ability to see anything in them was the amazing part of {t all, for, as played by Jack Storey and Paul Decker, thoy Were utterly impossible. One sang of “rosas” and things and the other snapped hts fingers at almost everything that was aid. But “Granmum” loved ‘em and set her eilly old heart upon going with them to a Wicked place on Broad- way called “The Three Lights." Out of town “The Three = Laght may prove a stronger at- traction than here in the sign-lit city, where emoug. is a deux on thé market.

A man in the penitentiary was caught stealing from other inmates. He should be dishonorably discharged from the inatitution and turned into the world without recommendations or back salary. “Society woman aues for rudeness on Pullman car.” You can get rude- ness on a Pullman car without euing for it.

Teddie never had any more tiffs with the chickens, because that night when he went to bed and the Sand Man blew lots and lots of sand in his eyes he wae very tired, but he thought of what a A morning Smile, HEN President Eliot of Harvard was in he was noted among the students for his The Davey 600d Stories. | to his wife, was rewarded with a divorce. A man in New York went to the trouble of cleaning up a million dol lars, and now the people say it is atill tainted, In the play “Peter Grimm” some one saya that a man died in London and was almost instantly seen in New York. If other Englishmen can be persuaded to live the right kind of lives they will receive similar re wards. A millionaire says he te greatly disuppotnted in his son. The safest way is to put your faith in a grand son, and then, if you're lucky, you will die before you are disappointed.

This has caused more trouble in the human game than can be estimated. Young people WILL HOLD ON even to spider threads of old loves, and there la the Inevitable crash, The enamored one being but human, constantly aims to RDKINDLE the old flame and make it burn brightly AGAIN.
