AMUSEMENTS.

RETURN OF SCOTTISH COMI EDIANS. ! ' i I Graham Moffat and his Company of Scottish players arc returning to Stratford on Wednesday next at the Town Hall, with something new for New Zealand theatre-goers. This is i “A Scrape o’ the Pen,” the play that has recently been so successful in 'Sydney, where it ran for five weeks ‘at the Palace Theatre, and was only |taken off to allow Mr Moffat’s promised revival of “Bunty Pulls Strings” to go on. Instead of a fort-, 'night’s revival as promised of the little string-pulling lady, owing to the success of “A Scrape o’ the Pen,” it had 'to he limited to a week. The new ! Comedy is generally conceded to he> even better’ than “Bunty,” and if Sydney press criticisms count for anything, it may he interesting to note I that not one dissentient voice was ■raised, and every paper expressed the !opinion that there is more pathos in the new production than in “Bunty,* hmt that smiles are always there to 'relieve the tension with the excellent humourous touch Mr Moffat has imparted into this delightful comedy. ■ All the old favorites who so delighted us with “Bunty” are reappearing, while several new artistes were specially imported for the new production. The box plan will open at Grubb’s on •Monday.
