Graham Moffat, author OF "Bunty
a Pulls the Strings" the quaint Scotch
comedy which will visit the Garrick
theater next week, spent a few days
in New York recently, and an inter
viewer asked him TO say a few words
about Scotch humor. Scotch humor
10 not an easy thing to define" said
he. 1T Is q thing apart from other
lands. There Is something SLY and
pawky about II. Sometimes there's
what London critic has called sub
acid bitterness TO 1t. The Scotch
man sees the humor In what another
man does when he does not know he
In being funny. He sees the humor,
!, for instance. In his neighbor's thrifty
eXpedients, while at the same time he
Is conscious OF his own economical
habits" Speaking OF "Bunty," which,
by the way, Is played by an all-Scotch
company, Mr. Moffat said 1t was writ
ten In the language OF the Lowlands,
and not OF the Highlands, as most
people seem to take for granted.

Harris will present James Forbes

the play has always been a favorite

BY far the best miniature musical
comedy ever offered on the Miles
stage is ION the College Campus"

4. bill this week. The act is presented
by the "Rah Rah Boys" and the cast
includes Miss Lorna Doone Jackson,
The original "aeroplane girl" whose
aeroplane flight over the heads OF the
audience at the conclusion OF the
production Is so cleverly executed
that the machine appears TO be self
propelled. Sometimes the illuminat-
; ed plane dips down into the aisle, en-
abling Miss Jackson TO shake hands
with those nearest her. The music
throughout Is unusually tuneful and
catchy and most OF II was written
specially for the production. The
scenic embellishments are also
worthy OF note, showing a wooded
campus with college buildings In the
background. In real life Miss Jack
son Is the wife OF Frank Theriac,
manager Of the act and one OF the
boys" II was he who induced her TO
join the show some two years ago.
