first American appearance was in the

which at that time was presenting a re-

Miller saw her, and hailing her as a
dramatic find persuaded her to learn

THE WEEKS PLAYBILLS

"Bunty Pulls the Strings that de.
lightful Scotch slice of family life from
the pen of Graham Moffat. and coming
TO us from extended runs in Philadelphia
and Boston, opens at the Belasco to-
morrow evening for a weeks engagement
Messrs. Shubert and William A. Brady
are sending us the original company in
tact that came over nearly two years
ago. when the piece was first presented
at the Comedy Theater, New York.
Although its locale is Scotch, the play
is broadly comic and impresses all ma
tionalities. The story concerns Tammas
Biggar and his domestic affairs. Tammas,
as a young man, was to have been the
husband of fine, buxon lassie, but on
the wedding morning, fearing the expense
of married life, he deserted his BRIDE
elect, and cruelty left her waiting at the
church, migrating to the small village
of Lintiehaugh, where he married the
daughter of a prosperous merchant. As
a result of the union, three children were
born-two sons, and the angelic "Bunty.''
At the opening of the play Tammas is
in very bad straits, having appropriated
funds belonging to Susie Simpson, a
shrewd old maid who proposes marriage
10 him as a compromise and cancellation
OF his Indebtedness to her. About this
time Eelen Dunlop, the girl whom he
deserted thirty years previously, uneX-
pectedly turns up and the shiftless
Tammas is plunged into more perplexi-
ties than ever. Here the master hand Of
'Bunty" makes itself manifest and COM
mences adroitly pulling strings to set
matters straight. Arrangements are made
whereby the ludicrous Susie Simpson s
debt is satisfied and the disturbing fac
tors completely eliminated Through the
same strategy the marital relationship
is established between Tammas and his
erstwhile love. Eelen Dunlop, while
Bunty and her lover, Weelum Sprunt,
follow suit.
Prominent among the players to be
seen here are Molly Pearson, Amy Single
ton. Margaret Nybloc Vera Pole, Sander
son Moffat. Ethelbert Hales. J. E. Mac
