Jones to outfit the person Of Mr.. OTIS

portunities to lean, hat-tilted-upon-

for Cock o. the Walk" had its pre-

in the season.
"Bunnys Austin strong's comsay
Bunny" presented in the Theater Hua-

one of the species known to the peas

Gated. the lovabIe and quaint qualities
of the protagonist and his deeds are
in plays Of this so-designatsd class,
chiefly resident in the fancy of the
playwright: from which fancy they
seldom emerge to the satisfaction OF
the spectator. The protagontst In his
stage being generally presents himself
TO his audience as something OF an
Irritating, overly-sweet ass. True, to
old maids and such like, a character
OF this academy may possess a visit
ful appeal. yet the truth persists that
to the majority, the character appears
as a mellow idiot without an idiots
humor. These lstter-day Dickens"
characters are merely so many male

selves as adults with baby minds.

Bunny" is worn stun. True enough,
Austin Strong is a writer OF grac~-
his "Toymaker OF Nuremburg" you
will pleasantly recall-and, true
enough, there is about his manuscript
a fine air Of anti-Broadwayism that
appeals nightly. but, in spite Of these
qualities, the work lacks inventiyeness,
freshness, honest distinction
The tale of the Strong piece Is OF
Bunny a down-and-out literary
worker in the 1s4Os who loves a girl
and who sacrifices every personal COM
fort that he may aid her (unbe-
knownst to her) in the ways Of life.
The girl, separated from Bunny "a

becomes betrothed to an ancient and
opulent roue. Bunny, learning of the
calamity, is forthwith metamorphosed
into a man Of action. He busies him
self to win back the girl of his heart
and, obviously enough, duly wins her
back at FIVE minutes before eleven.
The play moves very slowly. A num-
