Most people know that "Peck's Bad Boy" is a potpourri of funny incidents, brilliant repartee and ludicrous situa tions. Some more definite information, however, might be interesting. The ptodnction is the apotheosis of modem comedy. It is cleverly arranged, and is as devoid of a plot as a church stew is of oysters, and the incidents recar with sach startling rupidity os to cause con tinuous laughter. It is reported that "Peck’s Bad Boy” is far superior to many of the productions which have been seen at the opera honse, and that there is not an nnwholesome line in it It has many complications which might be described as "screams," and they are all most plausible, even if they are laughable. The man who cannot langh says Carlisle, "Is not only fit for trea sons, Btrategems and spoils, bnt his whole life is already a treason and a strategem.” "Peck’s Bad Boy” will make yon langh in spite of yonrself at the new opera honse on Tuesday eve ning- PRIZE FIGHTER’S HEART this time.

Popular Howard Kyle Will Draw a Large House nonday Night. Frank Wallis, the Illinois champion feather weight, says: "Nearly all my life I drank coffee, and it finally pnt me in snoh a condition that training for any light was almost Impossible. My breathing was poor and slight ex ertion always made me very tired. I could not understand it, for I was other wise well and strong, nntil one day, in training quarters, a friend and admirer of mine asked me if I drank coffee. I I told him,‘yes,’and he said that was what ailed me. ThiB was two weeks before an impor tant fight of mine was dne. He ex plained how coffee affected the heart and nerves and told me of the good qualities of Postnm Food Coffee. I im mediately commenced to nse it in plaoe of coffee. The resalt was wonderful My cervonsness left me, my breathing bothered me no more, my confidence re turned, and I was as good as ever in a short time. I returned victor of the fight, whioh I am confident I would not have been had I continued the use of coffee.” The theatrical barometer is rap ; diy rising and there is speedy pronrae of good things at the New Opera Honse daring the next few weeks.

The drama which Clyde Fitch wrote aronnd the heroic character of that no ble young American patriot, Nathan Hale, is undoubtedly one of the most interesting and effective of all the many plays founded upon the events of the American Revolution. It is a beautiful play, full of noble sentiments with charming love episodes and homing with the fire of patriotism. It is a play which will live as long as the country shall exist for which he lost his life. Tne company presenting this great play Is headed by Howard Kyle, a popnlar young and gifted actor, who meets all the dlfflonlt requirements of the title role most folly, both in the earlier com edy scenes and in the tragio events that follow in the later aots. Mr Kyle is a skilled actor, who has played many im portant parts and who has exibited de serving ambition in appearing In so no ble a play, making the venture his own, he thus demonstrates his disposition and purpose to adhere to a high plane in his profession. The oompany in Mr. Kyle's support, is highly extolled and oontaini many who are well known to onr play goers, while the production is all that the exacting piece requires.
