BANDIT Captured
AFTER HARD FIGHT
Slayer of Policeman Hart
Is Brought to
Justice

Chicago. February 14.-Robert Webb.
automobile bandit and slayer of Police
man Peter Hart, was captured here today
after a revolver battle and desperate
hand to hand struggle, in which the high
wayman was dubbed into submission by
half dozen policemen
Webb apparently had been hiding near
his old haunts on the South Side since
he killed Hart when the policeman tried
to arrest him several weeks ago. out Of
funds he telephoned to a woman friend
for money. An alert telephone central
operator caught the message and notified
the police
Webb told the woman to bring $500 to
certain street corner so he could leave
the city. A hundred officers were soon
scattered around the neighborhood and a
few minutes before the appointed hour
Webb was seen walking toward the rem
devious. Two detectives started after
him. Webb saw the officers and ran into
a building and out the back way He
was seen by other police and the waiting
officers took up the chase. Many shots
were exchanged.
Webb was overtaken at last by Police
man Patrick Courtney and with the aid Of
other officers the bandit was taken TO
headquarters.

"Rnntx Pulls the Strings"

Graham Moffat's Scotch comedy in three
acts, "Bunty Pulls the Strings was pre-
sented at the jefferson theatre last night
for the first time, although it has been
reigning success in this country for two
seasons There is little or no action in
the play that he called dramatic in
quality. The scenes and characters are
presumably faithful portraiture Of Scot
tish life, as described by ]. NJ Barrie, Ian
Maclaren and other writers who have
made the homey rural types of Scotland
immortal in literature, as we'll as on the
stage. The characters introduced are
quantity humorous and they belong to a
bygone day, the peIiod of 1860. in fact.
Bunty is a Iovei-headed young person
with a nimble wit and she pulls the
strings so successfully in her little
world that she provides for the happi-
ness of those about her, as well as her
own future.
The play is one that requires skillful
acting to be made interesting and If some
members of the company did not appear
10 grasp all its subtilties last night, it
may be said in justification that they were
taking part in a performance not to be
judged by the usual standards. In many
parts of Scotland a trifling incident looms
large to eyes accustomed to narrow cham
nels and curiously free from exciting
episodes Much of the comedy in "Bunty
Pulls the Strings" depends on the un-
sophistication of the people of the play
and the humor of the piece, at times de-
lightful, lies chiefly in the revelation of
Scotch character, both the good and the
bad the austere pety that Is the breath
of life to such people and the crotchets
that have made them the theme OF many
good story.
1t must be confessed that there are
times when tBunty Pulls the Strings
has tendency TO drag The play is lit
tie more than talk, from beginning to
end However,, II one enters into the
spirit of the occasion" properly, it Is pos
sible to find enjoyment in the piece de-
spite the fact that it is devoid OF any
thing approaching strong situation,
moving quietly and rather sedately along
to a happy conclusion.
Dawsey McNaughton is winsome fig
ure as 'Bunty,' although n trifle more
spirit in her acting would not be amiss
Eugenie Magnus, as sharp-tonSued
trouble maker of the so-ealled weaker
SEX" was certainly spirited enough and
had vim to spare. Stanley Harrison
played a numbskull lover with a surpris-
ing amount of dumbness, which may have
been due to his art or his limitations.
Mable Stanton as Ellen Dunlop was pleas
ing, but none of the characters stood out
as distinctly as one could wish in a per-
Torrance calling for the incest delnea-
tion.
There will be a matinee this afternoon
and a performance tonight, which will
end the engagement.
