BUNTY PULLS THE STRINGS.

TO-NIGHT'S PERFORMANCE

In "Bunty," the winsome, charming character created by Mr. Graham Moffat in his famous Scotch comedy \ 'Bunty Pulls the Strings,'' which is to.,'be produced in the Taihape Town Hall to-night, Mr. Moffat has added to the academy of stage characters which are world-famous 'in theatrical literature. "Bunty* 7 will be interpreted by Miss Ella Young during the play's tour of New Zealand, and she'is considered, by the author, to he the finest "Bjinty'' he has yet seen. The Sydney Referee describes "Bunty" as ','A wholly kirk-bred product, entirely, absolutely and unwaveringly Scottish, from the tip of her tiny black shoes to her old'ashioned 'bun.' Shrewd, level-head-sd, grimly, puritanically economical, jelf-wijled, and entirely capable, yet withal wholly feminine and .lovable she presents a picture of absorbing interest to all true lovers of human nature. Uthough she rides rough-shod over the >bjeetions and prejudices of mere man, ihe does so by means of her attributes is a; woman, her native cleverness makng her realise just how potent thes» reap'ons are. Life to her is a serious msinesa, and, in her capable hands — i, mere girl of nineteen—domestic ecoripolled perfection. That is her' life, .rah;, in } all conscience, but' she goes trough it smilingly, content to abide >y the bigoted standards, that make a hideous, ofehce, in which she has been brought p. "Tlf'She fhinksiit n'eeessary'-to fiaurit ! anventioh she' dee's 'soTwiffi'ri'd"hiisgivags, secure in her own independence nd strength. Asu're sense of- pra'ctiability guides all her actions, but does ot subjugate the curiosity and rebelon. at the rule of man that have deterHed to her As a legacy from -old. [other Eve." ..
