Peck's Bad Boy, Apr. %.

Many musical comedies which have
failed and which failure fairly compe-
tent judges have been puzzled to ac-
count for have met their Waterloo on
account of a weak last act, which has
destroyed all the good effect of an
otherwise strong and interesting work.
1t will not do to appeal alone to the
musical culture Of your audience for
salvation, they'll side against you if
you do this at the expense Of the dra-
matte strength of your comedy. Ex-
Governor Peck who wrote "Peck's Bad
Boy" wrote TO please the many instead
of the few it seems, for the press and
public are unanimous in their praise.
Peck's Peck Bad Boy" is stamped as
work of high class musical merit
combined with a simple story of dra-
matte construction that is brimful of
fun which is fast and furious. Peek S
Bad BOY" will be seen at the Opera
House Monday, April p. for one night
