Prrer THE GREAT CoMING Back ‘TO 
B. F. Kerru’s THEATRE 
An announcement that will be hail- 
ed with delight by thousands of thea- 
tregoers all over New England, is the 
return of Peter, The Great, the won- 
derful Simian wonder who comes 
to B. F. Keith’s Theatre next week 
after a triumphant tour of the world. 
On his last visit to Boston Pater had 
the whole town by the ears. He vis- 
ited all the important personages in 
and around Boston, including Mrs. 
Nicholas Longworth, and_ dined at 
the Touraine. He is without question 
the most wonderful chimpanzee that 
ever was brought to this country. 
Peter dresses and undresses himself, 
eats with a knife and fork, runs a 
typewriter, rides the bicycle, roller 
skates, in fact does everything except 
talk. He is best described by the 
phrase, “He was born a monkey but 
made himself a man.” Peter’s engage- 
ment is for one week only. Among 
other attractions will be B. A. Rolfe’s 
latest musical comedy, “The Purple 
Lady,” with Ralph Lynn, Mercedes 
Lorenz, and a company of twelve 
pretty girls.
