PECK'S BOY
REALLY BAD
The fact that the famous farce
comedy, "Peck's Bad Boy," is to- be
presented at the Steward on Thursday,
February 13, suggests the tribute that
to Hon. George W. Peck, ex-Gover
nor of Wisconsin, the creator of the
bad boy, as he Is now so widely pre
sented In the press and upon the
stage, belongs the credit of having
been the first to discover and exploit
the almost limitless possibilities of
humor and genuine, healthful and
happiest fun latent In his aggressive
make-up. It the boy Is father to the
man, George Peck Is also father to
the boy, who since his birth In print,
now nearly a generation ago, has had
so many imitators, but never a rival
In originality, or those graphically
natural touches of juvenile human
eccentricity, which have made millions
so happily hilarious, whether hidden
between the covers of a book or given
the center of theatrical production.
The owners of the play In question
are alone authorized by ex-Governor
Peck to reproduce his story In the
form Indicated, and have done so with
a liberality and faithfulness which he
most highly commends. In short, the
best and most entertaining story of its
kind ever written has been converted
Into the brightest and most laughable
farce comedy ever put before the pub
lic. Such has been the unanimous

Those who attended the Illustrated
lecture last evening by Artist Zwickey
at the Central Church of Christ, were
undoubtedly well pleased with bis
talk. Mr. Zwickey Illustrated his ad
dress with crayon drawing, which he
made with lightning rapidity. While
his lecture was replete with sterling
thoughts relative to higher art, he
added much to the pleasure of the
evening by well-timed and skilfully
executed humor. Especially did he
bring forth the smiles during his com
ments and illustrations of, the ladles'
millinery. All who attended were
well pleased with his entertainment.
