If laughter and applause are any criterion to go by, then one may say that Peck’s bad boy as rendered last night at the Star Theatre was a pro nounced success. The name is an excuse for the gathering together of a cheap class of vaudeville acts, but it pleased the audience. Notwith standing the very inclement weather the largest audience of the past two months was present. The acts were clever enough, the singing and danc ing passably fair, and the verdict of the majority was that it was a good show. But what a farce it is when such a show as ‘ Nathan Hale” comes to town and plays to empty benches and one like that of last night comes and plays to a good house “and it a rainin’!” But such is fate. The really artistic moral, elevating and instructive must suffer while the chaffy stuff receives the support. Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer. Bow ChrlAtmaii Wan Obnerved.
