calls the Worth of America. Everything
em-'oyed on the stage is carried by the
organization. and in the scene illustrating
the stormng of the Bastili fifty people
will be employed The superrumerarles
will be drilled In true soldier style In
order TO avoid the usual confusion at
tendant upon the use OF this gentry upon
the stage.

II Is Chrome.
A comical comedy, a real comedy one
that you laugh at until the tears run
down yos;r cheeks. Such is the Bachelors
Baby" which will visit Seattle next
Wednesday night at the Seattle theater
That c.aSs of play today. which IS called
comedy. the word being very much mis-
construed. Is. in reality. not comedy at
oil. You laugh at a farce. then go away
and wonder what you laughed at a
comedy keeps a merry ripple OF effer-
vescent smiles and laughs all through
ba. mingled with enough pathos TO make
IL comedy. We can't appreciate hap
piness, unless we have little pathos as
contrast. Such Is comedy. and such in
the Bachelors Baby"-a rea. comedy;
one that you want TO see more than
once. ~
