days of Bijou Musical Comedy company
Little Chip as the Dutch boy is particu

singing and dancing: numbers were verj
pleasing. They are ably assisted by
John \Y Dunne, under whose direction
the playlet is staged.

“Anita the Singing Girl"
I If such a thing as adding new laurel -
I were possible, little Kruina Bunting suc
ceeded last night, when she presented a
dual role in "Anita, the Singing Girl,
at the Bijou theatre for the first tlm*3
in Birmingham. Chiefly the new laurel.
lav in the fact that for the first time
Birmingham saw her in a role that ap
' proaches the emotional or melodramatic,
* and she gave exhibition of acting that
is far different from #ny that she has
ever offered before.
"Anita” is a melodrama from end to
end. yet interspersed with excellent com
tdv in both lines and situations. The
audience that braved tin* weather was
enthusiastic, and evidently little Emma
in such a role will prove a drawing at
traction. Miss Bunting alternates ns a
hoy and a girl, appearing in one act
■ as a little girl, street singer, who has
been stolen as a baby from her rich
parents, and in the next act assuming
boy’s clothing. She returns to each
, character again. While the scenes up to
the fourth act partake of the dramatic.
, it is In this act that she gives her emo
tional ability full sway, and there are
gf nuine tears in her voice, real pathos
in her acting, and the art of an actress
in every gesture and every line she
leads. it is In this scene that she is
, enticed Into the room where her father
lays dying, and is urge-* to get her re
venge on him for the supposed betrayal
of her mother. In a splendid scene, that
vibrates with emotion and life, she dis
covers that her love for this man who
has befriended her is greater than her
dfFire for revenge, and she throws the
dagger away, defies the villain who has
enticed her to the room, and leaves her
i father.
The story in brief is of a child stolen
by a Spanish street singer, who has
sworn \engeance on her father. She
, discovers her true parentage in this at
tic Scene, and later it :s all straightened
• cut. and ends well. Miss Bunting ap
^ pears as Anita, Mr. Whitaker as Ned
Tremont. a generous young broker, who
; befriends the little waif: Joel FYiedkir
I as John Baird, the son. who is an out
cast from home and h neer-do-well. a
par' in which he does excellent work:
lewis Uytton as the Spanish street mu
sician: Mr. Webb ns Malcolm Denvers,
the secretary, and Miss Sargent as Vera
Danvers, the wife of Malcolm, but
known as his sister.
The stage settings Include five scenes
in New York, ranging from the dean-,
late attic In the Kastsidc, to a million
aire's club, and they are true ami ex
cellent Iti every particular.
The play will he seen for a matinee
tinay, one Thursday and Saturday, and
performances nightly.
