ADJUSTMENTS.

Whose Baby Are You" opened at
the Grand last night to a good aud
fence. The skit is from the pen Of
Mark Z. Swan. whose first success.
Browns In Town. drew such spIen-
did patronage earlier in the season.
Like the latter, Whose Baby Are
You" abounds in situations excruciat-
ingly funny. The dialect is new and
bright, the action swift and the cast
splendid, collectively speaking. Last
nights audience laughed itself hoarse
and the cOntagiOn of aDDrecia ton,
viewed from the point that not single
speciality is injected into the piece,
ranks almost as wonderful.
In the second and third acts the au-
thor has eliminated the suggestive OdOr
that threatened to run through the
play and turned out a farce as clean,
or more SO. than the American aver
age.
Francis Y. Hope as Walter MyIton,
the young artist about whom the plot
is woven, is extremely clever; Hugh
Wallace as the footballist, and Fred
K. Runneli, the German nObleman, d.
vide honGrs about evenly. Miss Frank
Ign Gale, in the role of the artist S
sweetheart model, was easily the ia
VOrite among the women of the cast.
The author has evidently endeavored
to give everybody something to do. and
it is refreshing to find farce of today
which does not consist of one man and
a girl. Whose Baby Are You" should
