Author of Peck's Bad Boy

Flyer- November 11, 1904 - Lewisburg Opera House

Whenever the Peck's Bad Boy play would come into a town, some sort of advertising was used to promote the play. In the days before radio this was frequently done with cards and/or flyers.
Here is a nice example of a flyer. This one page sheet (6.5 x 5.25) notes the play will be performed at the Lewisburg Opera House on November 11, 1904. This facility in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania was the site of Peck's Bad Boy annually for several years at the turn of the century.

It is unclear at this time the production company that put on this particular version of the play.

The Lewisburg Opera House was built in 1869. It burnt down in 1908.
