With good and catchy music, a fund of irresistible mirth, fun, wit and humor and a bevy of pretty girls and other original features and ingredients there is every reason to predict one of the most successful engagement [sic] of the season at the Opera House, Hardwick, Saturday, July 31. The event will be the appearance in the flesh of America’s most famous destroyers of gloom and depression, Mutt and Jeff. From all accounts the noted Bud Fisher cartoon creations have never had a better opportunity of displaying their ability to arouse wholesome laughter than in their latest medium, a two act comedy by John P. Mulgrew and Leo Edwards. The offering permits Mutt and Jeff to indulge in a series of amusing and side-splitting complications and situations. From start to finish, it is promised, they will be the central figures in the bedlam of joy and happiness, besides establishing their right as two of the foremost laugh getters in the history of Amercan [sic] enterprise and production. Mutt and Jeff are a real institution and favorites of long standing. That their reputation will be enhanced and perpetuated in this instance goes without saying. At any rate their million [sic] of admirers through-out the world may be assured that they will have plenty of opportunity to acclaim them which is something to boast of in this age of progress and over-changing fashions.
