Veronee Amusement Co., Bunco in Arizona was a play of the southwest, a vehicle for the star and author, Lillian Mortimer.

His partner, Jim, had problems over a mining claim with an Englishman named Heathercott. The plot lurched from one melodramatic twist to another. This play was cited by the New York Times in 1907 as one of the quintessential "penny dreadfuls" that proliferated on the New York stage.
