"but they hould never be brought to the
theater. What can an infant of one tender
year understand about the dialogue, Sit
uations and motif Of a play? Positively
nothing. They do not do themselves any
good and they create havoc among the
feelings of a whole lot of other people.
Now, take it here at my theater, for in
stance. One of the cuteSt specimentS of
~babyhood I ever saw in my life came in
the other night, accompanied by it's fond
papa and mamma. 1t was a little blonde
and looked like a girl, but the way that
kid acted convinced me it must have been
of the other sex, or it would never have
been SO unladylike. You know. we play
ed Friends last week, and during the
first act, 1 suppose, the lights and the ex-
element of the occasion kept baby in a
good humCr. 1t laughed and crowed and
pleased everybody in the vicinity and
convinced them that babies were about
the sweetest things ever was. In the
second act 1t began to get a little restless,
but the mother had bought q lot of choco-
late creams, and whenever baby COM
menced to whimper she showed one of the
creams into its diminutive mouth and so
kept it still during act 3. Then a comedy
juggler came on inc that seemed to
amuse baby. During the third act, ali!
that's when the trouble began. You know
one of the characters in the piece has a
sort of dellrlum tremenS scene, and the
baby set up a cry that sounded like the
wall of a lost soul. It's grandfather must
have been a drunkard. Everybody look
ed around, end the smothered profanity
and the whitening looks that were thrown
in that direction were strong enough to
scare a Chinese giant, but that didn't af-
feet that kid, so the father gathered it up
and came down in the lobby with it.
There we jollied it up. 1t got to smiling
and growing, and we concluded that he or
she was the real thing after all, and he or
she went back for the fourth act. The
climax of this act is where the villain
shoots the leading ~jevenile man, and when
the baby heard that shot it gave a series
'of whoops, yells and bowls that would
lend credit to one of Buffalo Bills Com
anches. OF course, the only thing to do
was to let 1t look at the lobby again, and
jolly 1T along until the curtain fell.
"Oh, yes, babies are all right, but af-
ter O'Clock they want to be home in bed,
winch IS not only good for them, but is
beneficial to a whole lot of people, includ-
ing yours truly"
