A cast of excellentlocal talent has
been assembled for the presentation
of “Peg 0' My Heart." tomorrow

tor Junior High School. This sl-
woys-populnr com -dy is being given
for the benefit of the K. of 0. Bull -
lng Fund.
Although an American pley, "Peg

an international play, for it has been
m-cscnled in various countries in Eu.

Miss Laurette Taylor, whose suc-
Poss was firmly established by her
:1 :rtormance in this comedy, played
the role in 1.099 performances. The
total number of performances reo-
orded to 1918 in ali‘psrts of the
world was 10.208. Miss Taylor Was

and The Man” Frldily
Regent Theatre Friday in that d
lighttui “and wholesonio comedy.
"Arms and The Man." she will have
with her a company at Broadway
store. It is a. work 0! great merit
which one would expect to come
i from the pen oi Mr. Show. The
quality or the play can be estimated
by the fact that it has been playing
on Broadway for eight months and
is still going strong. .
Norwallr is very fortunate in being
able to have a. play of this kind pre-
sented in its first release from
‘2 Broadway. and especially fortunate
‘ in having a cast of experienced
Broadway stars. The presentation
. of such a. play at popular prices is
somewhat in the nature or an ex-
7 periment. and it local theatre goers
show their appreciation.‘ etiorts will
be made to have plays 0! a similar
‘ nature trom time to,tline. '
The play is being sponsored by the
'1 Norwalk High School and reduced
rate tickets are being issued for all
school pupils who desire to attend
the matinee. ~
