Suddenly the lady of thirty-five or thereabouts turned her head sharp- ly to the right. Someone had said “Peter, be careful.” Now Pecter was the lady's favorite name. She and Harry had never wanted children. They had decided long years ago that children tied you down too much and made you old too soon. But if they had ever had a son his name would have been Peter. So the bored lady looked to the right and this is what she saw—a man and a woman about her own age and a fair-haired boy of seven or eight with an intense little face shining with happiness and two thin legs sticking sharply out behind as be knelt on the seat and leaned so far over the rail that the two big folks had to say “Peter, be .

According to the newspaper criti- cisms it would appear that ‘“The Bo- hémian Girl” as it is being offered by the Aborn Opera company con- tains elements some one or more ol which appeal to every theatergoer. Among the features mentioned -are Balfe’s well known melody ballads sung by notable singers, an unusually rich scenic outfit, a scene in which a number of horses are employed, that supplies all the thrills of a melo- drama, a number of circus acts of ex- ceptional merit and a ballet. It would appear that ‘“Tne Bohemian Girl” as it will be presented at the Lyceum on Thursday evening, next, is decidedlr different from the style in which it was done for so many years. The presenting cast includes Eileen Cas- tles, Mildred Rogers, Henry Taylor, George Dustan Francis Tyler and Ralph Nicholls.
