Canceled “Peck’s Bad Boy” On Advice From Monticello.

Manager George this morning received a telephone message from Manager Miatthews, of one of the Momtieello picture play houses, stating that “Peck’s Bad Boy” was not up to expectations or to the representations made by the promoters and advised Manager George to cancel the show, which he promptly did. Mr. George had advertised the performance extensively, expecting that it would be especially interesting for the children, but will not permit it to be shown since deceiving the adverse criticism. The discovery was made too late to inform the public in advance of the matinee hour, but the regular pictures will be shown both this afternoon and tonight, good film® being provided for all performances; This action on the part of Manager George deserves the approval of the public and the community as well and Manager George is under obligations to Manager Matthews, of Monticello, for the warning.
