There are a great many dramatic possibilities In this play, every one of which will receive the "closest attention from the different members of the company. Miss Bunting will be seen in an Ingenue lead which is entirely different from anything in which she will be seen during her engagement at the majestic. Her talents in this particular line have been practically unseen, and she will prove a revelation to her already large list of friends.

Although I think some of the best actors in the country are playing in stock. It takes so much more versatility to be able to play a different each week and keep from showing the same stage traits. Those who have never done repertoire work do not know how hard it really Is." i Miss Bunting has been on the stage ever since she was a young girl. Her parents were not stage people, but while she was at her home In Well-vllle, Ohio, she became interested in acting and resolved to follow the profession.

She assumed small parts for several years and was not very well known until she became a stock star In Seattle, eight years ago. From that time she has headed her own company under the management of Roy Applegate, her present manager. She has played In many of the larger cities and bas assumed the leading roles in plays such as "The Little Minister," "The Bishop's Carriage," "The Dawn of Tomorrow" and many other popular pieces. One of the commonplace remarks which the little actress made between answers to questions and exchanged, quips with her French maid, Eleanor, was that she liked sunshine and that she "just hated" these gloomy, cloudy days. This little remark reflects clearly Miss Buntfhg's disposition and wholesome manner.

She likes bright life and is a living model of enthusiasm. E. W. W. oi me enormous uemaiiu i it wuh this tRe reporter knew that throughout this and other countries, there were to be nQ startllng com.

However, Brian has ambitions of his own and he insisted' that he be permitted to tour all of the country. As a result a big new production had to be postponed an entire year. The business that "The Siren" has enjoyed can be accounted for in various ways.

First of all Brian creates a furor wherever he is seen. Then the supporting company of noted prin-vipals also draws heavily. No musical attraction on tour this season can boast of such an expensive and high class array of artists as "The Siren."

Her character changes are away above the average and her sweet voice gives her the right to both titles. Van Horn and Jackson, two boys who play the piano and sing is a sort of a rathskuller act, and have received more than their share of press comments everywhere. Allegro, a trick violinist is away above the average and the selections he plays which vary from grand opera to the popular numbers of today, are weir chosen. The "The Vengeance of Heaven." and The Grafters." two extra special features, will both be shown at the Best Theater Monday and Tuesday. In the first a young man deserts his sweetheart for another.

The deserted one dies and her father seeks to avenge her death. His aim is untrue and his bullet lodges in a tree. The old man dies. Later the villian quarrels with one of his tenants. He blows up the selfsame tree in which the bullet Is lodged and the bullet is driven into his heart, thus making vengeance complete- The tenant is accused of the crime but clever detective work clears him.
