than whom there is no better comedian upon
the American stage, will tickle the fancy OF his
large following this year with play of his
| own. comedy called 1.-The Bachelors Baby"
1.-THE Bachelors Baby is in three acts the
scenes being placed in New York city. Tom
Beach," the hero of the comedy, is most
sensible man on most matters and realizes that
the world cannot get along without children,
but he personally does not like them. These
peculiar views have kept him from marrying.
| for the young lady is somewhat doubtful OF
entrusting her future to man with such con-
victions Through the loss of his twin brother
and his wife at sea, Beach finds himself the
sole guardian and protector of his brothers
daughter, little girl of five, who, the re-
semblance being so strong, mistakes him Tor
her real father. OF course the hero's feelings
are outraged; he thinks that his brother must
have been crazy to have made such will, and
he even refuses to meet the little one. But ne
does meet her and she works her way into his
heart 10 such an extent that when the propo-
sition is made to take her away, he puts upthe
strongest kind of an argument to retain her.
| OF course there is a happy ending, and Mr..
| Wilson has told his story with bright lines,
clever epigram and amusing situations. Chas.
Frohman is to present Francis Wilson in The
Bachelors Baby" at the Academy of Music
next week. commencing Monday evening
| There will be but one matinee-on SATURDAY.
