| PECKs BAD Boy. Be sure and see Pecks
Bad Boy at the Belfast Opera House We'd
nesday evening, July Doth. This play has
been on the road twenty years, and still
attracts large audiences. The Leroy }.
French company, which is to present the
|
the play as given by them, including first
class specialties, is very enjoyable. While
the piece has been changed somewhat from
it's original form, the leading characters
still remain, and it is like meeting an old
friend to see Max ShultZ, the groceryman.
A new face in the play is Happy Hooigan,
and although always happy he is always in
trouble. A feature of the show is the sing
ing of Gertrude Warren, an Australian
vocalist, and the selections by the quartet
also highly spoken of.
