Peck'a Bad RoY.

The antics of "Peck's Bad Boy" and
his chum Jimmy Duffy; the trials Of his
unhappy father and the perpetual misery
of the groceryman, are familiar themes
in nearly every household in the land
The different scenes from the every day
life of the ''bad boy" have been strung
together, without a plot, for stage pre-
sentation, and for the sole purpose of
making people laugh. The Atkinson
Comedy Company presented it for the
irst time in Detroit to a large audience
at Whitney's last night, with John Muir
ray in the character of Major Isaac Peck,
Frankie Bishop as the bad boy, and c. A.
Warde as the grocsryman. The various
scenes lose none of the amusing features
which gave the book such a wide sale by
q literal representation upon the boards
Of a theatre. The audience was delight
cd and applauded to the echo. The
"Bad Bey' will be on deck again to.

cord. He hoped from this time for
ward the party would progress in the
State, and that this meeting would be
remembered as the dawning of a new
era for the Republican party in Mis-
souri,. We must remember that no
man is essential to success, and when
a man becomes the subject for wran.
