"Bunty Pulls The Strinos,"

On Saturday, Dec. T. the Gennett

ic sensation of two continents in the
Scottish comedy "Bunty Pulls the
Strings"
The play is by Graham Moffat, a
Scotch writer and actor, and is now
in it's second year at the Haymarket
theater in London, England. New York

August 18th at the Comedy theater.

months. Messrs. Shubert and William
A. Brady are the American producers
The title arises from the fact that
"Bunty" solves all domestic entangle-
ments that occur during the course of
the comedy: in other words, she Pulls
the Strings" Bunty is the daughter of

"A Modern Eve"

! "a Modern Eve" which comes for
the first time to The Gennett on
Thursday, Dec. 9th, was first staged
at the Neues theater of Berlin, in Au-
gust, 1911, under the German title of
Die Moderne Eva" It's success was
immediate and emphatic: the operetta
soon became the talk Of Berlin, and
operettas composed by Franz Lehar
and Leo Fall, scheduled to follow at
the same playhouse, had to wait for
production month after month until
the sweeping vogue of "a Modern

PETITIONS ARE NOT
TO Be CONSIDERED
Finly Gray Will Not Be Influ-
enced by Friends of the
Candidates.

Vinly Gray, Sixth district congress
h1an, apparently 10 taking seriously
the task Of appointing postmasters to
the four offices that become vacant
in Wayne county in 1914. Applicants
who attended the conference in the
Jefferson club rooms last Saturday be-
lieve that Gray appreciates the neces-
sity Of nice political judgment to make
the selections without injuring his
own political welfare.
A tone of anxiety on his part was
seen in one of the clauses OF the ap-
'pIeation which candidates were re-
quested to sign. The paragraph reads,
"And I further represent and agree in
return for the consideration Of my ap-
plication that I will abide by and ac-
cept without complaint or protest your
final determination in making said
appointment"
This is interpreted as a move on
Gray's part to forestall, If at all pos
sible, sore spots which the appoint
ments may leave with candidates who
do not secure the coveted plum.
After the regular conference last
Saturday, and after the reporters had
gone to their offices, they were recall
ed by Gray to hear an announcement
which he made to a number of appli
cants who were still in the club rooms
The purport of the statement was that
petitions favoring candidates would
not be considered by him in making
the appointments.
Petitions Tabooed.
"No attention Whatsoever will be
paid to petitions containing long lists
OF Names" said Gray. These instru-
ments do not show the true standing
of the applicant in his community any
way"
Gray tsen explained that he would
secure information about the candi-
dates from disinterested persons. He
said that he would pay no attention to
unsolicited recommendations, for in
the premises such recommendations
were from persons who were very
friendly to the candidate in whose
favor they were made.
"I will take into consideration" he
continued, ''the statements of persons
Republicans and Progressives for opin-
ions, for the postmaster must e>all
persons, and consequently the opinion
Of all should be secured.
The applicants were left under the
impression that Mr.. Gray would not
reveal his selections until he was
ready to make public announcement.
Asked If Postmaster Haas would be
left to complete his term in the Rich
mond office. Mr.. Gray said he saw no
reason for deposing him. mo COM
plant against his work has been regis
tered, and do not see why he should
be removed"
Mr.. Gray will not go to Washington
until the preliminary sessions are over.
He said Saturday that the opening
sessions are devoted to routine work,
and as there are no Legislative meas
ures pending, he will husband his
strength before taking his seat.
