Girl Prototype. "Peck's Bad Boy"

A girl "all boy" insofar as mischiev- ness is concerned, is found in little Miss Lotta Nelson who portrays "Mibbs" in the startling play. Her Unborn Child" which comes to the Elks' theater February g, 25 and 24, with daily matinees.
 Out of a list of fifty odd young sters who were anxious to show then histronic deviltry Miss Lotta was se- lected, and the wisdom or insight shown by the producers in juvenile nature, has been fully verified by the press of the country, which fairly raves over the childs talent to register clean cut. hilarious comedy.
 Laughter is a great factor in the success of Her Unborn Child now playing the Heilig theater, and no small measure of this is due to the cleverness of Lotta Nelson. Unlike most stage children she is not 'stagy, and when she innocently-seemingly- plays prank on her lovelorn brother it appears as if one was peepinG through a keyhole into an average fam fly of boys and girls
 This from the Portland Oregonian is praise indeed, but only in keeping with scores of other reviews from equally high authority.
