Get away from common worries; go and see “Peck’s Bad Boy” at the Bosse opera house tonight; it’s brighter and better than ever. There’s the Bad Boy and his chum, his ma and pa, and the old German grocer, Shultz, upon whom are played many new and up-to-date tricks. Attractive specialties are introduced during the action of the comedy, greatly adding to the enjoyment of each performance. It is a rather difficult thing to “get ahead” of children, one Decatur lady learned to her utmost amusement. The lady, with her little three-year-old niece, were visiting at the child’s grandma's. The three-year-old became rather mischievous and the aunty threatened to shut her in the cellar if she didn’t mend her ways.

Anyone who has treasured up pleasant memories of his youth is sure to have it brought back again while witnessing “Peck’s Bad Boy” in its new and improved condition —brighter bigger and better than ever.
