a cabaret dancing act that was de-
cidedly clever. Van Hoovan. lively

was literally applauded He is very
funny. Annie Kent, handsome
comedienne. made a big hit with her
natural wit and the way she ratified

ON FELLOW WHO
SHOT UP TOWN

Declaring that the shooting up" OF
Market street last Saturday night by
Howard Jacobs, the Virginian, was
something unhcard Of in this city, and
that there was no cause for leniency,
Judge Churchman today held Jacobs
under $4,000 bail for the next term

intent TO commit murder. In addition,
an additional charge lodged against
Jacobs today that of pointing a pistol
at James ". Kane, was not defended.

was fixed at 500. Jacobs was like

a deadly weapon and on this charge
he was fined $50 and costs and sem

Although Jacobs did not testify to-

the witnesses. Their stories differed
considerably from the story already

who said that after he followed

Had "Bunty" been granted her
wish to be a man, she undoubtedly
would have been a successful politi-
cal boss or a corporation lawyer. In
"Bunty Pulls The Strings at The
Playhouse last night Bunty demon
strated that she is a manager, who
generally gets her way. Cleverly,
tactfully, yet withal successfully, she
moulded the household racked by her
fathers intolerance to her own ways
and brought about peace in the end.
It is a story of Scotch life of the
hoop-skirt days of fifty or sixty years
ago, and is sweetly told throughout
the three acts. The atmosphere
breathes of the Scotch healthier
throughout and the scenic Invest
ment and the costuming are entirely
in keeping. II is no wonder that
such a splendid production had a
continuous run of more than year
in New York, and it is somewhat Of a
wonder that a larger audience was
not present at The Playhouse last
night. 1t is a play well worth see
ing with its quaintness, its subtle
humor. its brimming sayings, its diff
ference from other plays. Molly
Pearson as "Bunty" portrayed the
title role inimitably last night. Her
religion-ruled father, Tammas Big
ger was, admirably characterized by
j. l.. MeGregor, and one was forced
to the conclusion, from his language,
that he was of the Scotch descended.
The other characters we're as admir-
ably interpreted, particularly Wee
lum "Sprunt,' &ho as portrayed by
/ William Lennox, was character
reading difficult to surpass actually
or in imagination.
"Bunty Pulls the Strings" is to be
at The Playhouse tonight, tomorrow
matinee and tomorrow night.

During the evening the national

national hymn was sung by all.
Three young men. who had been
awarded prizes for reading Lincoln's

Mr.. Cleland spoke of the union OF

He said we are teaching them the
principals Of American citizenship.
