Peg O My Heart" AT
Grand Opera House Monday

Peg O. My Heart" which comes
to the Grand Opera House Monday,
March 18th, is made relishable be
cause it differs from the usual dia
logue and situations of the average
plays that have come our way. This
play deals with youth, simplicity and
love, is filled with gusts of laughter.
The action of the piece takes place
in England, and has to do with the
adventures of a little Irish girl who
has been raised by her father, an
Irish Socialist living in New York,
who sends her to her aristocratic rel
atiyes to be educated and refined.
That a play can be free from prob
lens of morality and discussions of
social vice, and still be one of the
sensational hits of our local stage,
has already been proven by the Won
derful patronage accorded J. Hartley
Manners comedy when presented
here about three years ago. Robert
Campbell wishes to assure theatre
goers he is sending to this city,com-
plete in every detail, the same beau
tiful production and excellent cast,
headed by Miss Ann Pittwood in the
title TOle.-Adv.
An excellent program has been
arranged for the Grace Baraca Glass
entertainment next Tuesday night, in
the lecture room Of Grace Church
There will be dialogues, Rotations,
readings, vocal and instrumental So
los, a duet by Miss Loretta Richard
son and Henry Taitt, and the Bara-
ca Orchestra will render excellent
music. Tickets are now on sale at
McAllister's drug store, and at the
store of Mr.. Fred Crawford; they
may also be obtained from members
and friends of the class. Admission,
! Is cents.-Ady.
