PECK'S BAD BOY.
On September 2nd two performances
viii be given at Portland theatre of
that laughable farce-comedy, "Peok's
Bad Boy" The management has been
TO considerable trouble and expense, as
the piece has been entirely revised, and
new ludicrous situations have been intro
duced; and the patrons who have seen
this amusing comedy will be entertained
the same as though It were the first op-
portunity to see this laughabie play, as
Yearly all of the situations, and greater
part of tho dialogue. have been changed.
New specialties win be introduced that
will be source of delight and strictly up
TO date, during the progress of the play.
The characters are for the most part the
same, but the new and bright dialogue,
as well as oomical situations will add
much toward making "Peok's Bad Boy
Of old as amusing and entertaining as
when first introduced
This Ia an opportunity that should not
be missed by even the smallest child, as
well as Its elders, as 1t has not only an
object lesson, but will amuse the most
exacting parents.
There is practically no comedy on the
road that is more humorous. or causes
more sids-splitting laughter than the
antics of that young imp of good -natur re.
"Peok's Bad Boy" and the tricks that
ne plays on his Ma. Pa, and ths Grocer
are well k nown from Maine to Califor-
mia.
Remember September end, matinee and
evening is the time and date this COM
pany win play in Portland.
