Indianapolis Star; Tuesday, April 21, 1914 (pg.9) - Theatres: English's - "Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary" - 8.15pm

     "The pleasant and wholesome comedy that May Robson made so popular, 'The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary,'
     was offered last night at English's by the clever members of Wright Huntington's Players. And the
     play was put on with so much zest, acted with such skill and in so a manner that it might have
     seemed that the company had been playing it the whole season. There was none of the usual stock
     company hesitation or mistakes; each member of the cast showed the effects of thorough drill and
     careful study, and the whole play displayed the work of careful of clever stage management."
