The comedy Is said to be one of the
OF the most novel and pure-minded dra-
matte offerings seen on the stage In

leading elder Of the village of Lintie-
naugh and her tall. stole affianced,

the fact OF his having taken 40 pounds
OF her money to save his hayward son
from disgrace invites a series OF com
plications that are more intricate than
tangible.
Bunty takes the money weelum has
laid aside to defray their marriage ex-
penses and saves her father In fact.
It Is her wit that brings them all out of
the way for her own marriage and that

The costumes peculiar to the sixties. the

the little haps and mishaps of a Scotch
village and It's people. Graham Moffat,
who wrote "Bunty.'' has done the un.
usual thing. He has gone deep into hui

wealth OF realism. combining himself to
legitimate comedy.

tant roles are Molly Pearson, Sanderson

He may not see that he is bounced be-
cause he isn't honest, for he may be
able to swear with clear conscience
that ne never took so much as a nickle
in rs life that did not belong to him.
But ne has taken time that did not be-

for. He hasn't been faithful. lie has
lied as to why he was late, and as to
where he was last night. He has gone
upon the theory that it was nobOdy's
business how he occupied his time out
side business hours. Yet the growth
of bad character, if you are at all
close to it, is about as obvious as the
growth of a corn field. The prudent
business man does not always wait un-
til he has a case in court. He prefers
to settle the little things with his en-
ployees before they have gone that far.
Business is becoming more and more
exacting on the point of individual
character. 1t is looking out for integ-
