Peg o My Heart" J. Hartley Man
ners' delightful comedy of English
country life, WILDE the attraction at the
Boyd today for the entire week, with
matinees today and on Wednesday,
Thursday and Saturday. Laughter
and tears are so close together in
this story of youth that no mans
eyes can discern the boundary line
Rather it rests with your senses
Pegs father has eloped with the
youngest daughter of wealthy and
aristocratic English family. They
reach America, where Peg is born,
and soon after her birth her mother
dies. Peg is brought up by her
father, who does not correct her, ar
guing that 1T is the original sin that
is breaking out in ye, and, indade, we
are not responsible for tits me"
This, according t. Peg, is a grand
way to bring up child. A brother,
to whom Pegs mother had appealed
for assistance and who ignored the
request at the time, eighteen years
after has an awakening of conscience
and sends to America for his niece
to come to England. While on the
steamer uncle dies, and Peg is met at
Liverpool by her uncle's solicitor,
Hawks, who is one of the executors
of his estate. He directs Peg to the
home of her aunt, Mrs. Chichester,
at Scarborough, there to await his
arrival. Pegs experiences in the
house of her aunt and cousins cause
many amusing situations as we'll as
some tinged with pathos. Mr.. Rob-
ert Campbell is sending Miss Carewe-
Carvel here in the role of Peg, sup
ported by an excellent company.

ginning Thursday, March IS, for an
engagement Of three day., with matt
nee Saturday, the first Avery Hop
wood laugh-maker since his far-famed
Seven Days" and "Nobody's
Widow" the biggest success in the
long and distinguished line of Selwyn
successes, the farce which packed the
Eltinge and Harris Heaters in New
York for just one year, and is now in
its sixth month at the Cort theater,
Chicago. -Four young and prosperous
persons with leisure to take them
selves very seriously are oddly as
sorted as one very good husband
with giddy wife, and one very good
wife with philandering husband.
The festive two overtax the patience
of their respective marriage partners,
who in their turn, for purposes of re-
venge vow to be thoroughly wicked.
They do not learn till 1t is too late to |
do them any good that wickedness
needs practiced hand, and that, with |
amateurs, it is much more apt to be
a boomerang than projectle. The
result is three acts of fast and cumu-
alive fun in which the amateurs strug. !
lie ignob!y, but finally successfully,
o get out OF the difficulties they had |
arranged for their spouses. |
For its chief feature this week the
Orpheum is to present the supreme
illusionists of Europe, Leroy, Talma !
