delivering the baby?
That's what happened to Mrs Alfred
Hardy in Margaret Mayo's new pay,
.Rabv Mine" produced last night al
Days Theatre.
And after you had gotten over the
shock and had sent emissaries oroaocasl'
how would you like to have one t"O
and three babies delivered when you
wanted only one?
OrAhow would you like to nave Deeh

has grown stout, and as the errand boy
OF the baby-hunting mother and his own
a betting wife, he had rather torrid set
of experiences. he DeCdHlS NOS7ocoOiio
enough TO gain anyones sympathy.
When Mr. Hardy returns from Detroit
he acts the typical father-only there Is
no baby. He is hustled into another
room and then Jimmy" arrives. He has
stolen the infant while the mother was
not looking at the founding asylum.
1t didn't seem exactly the kind OF thing
10 make fun of, but papa came In JUST
then and started some goo-gooing and
other varieties of Choctaw known only TO
new fathers, and the audience forgot the
prophecies. Anyhow, everybody began
laughing.
a little flash of reality was thrown into
things when the baby's mother appeared.
She was impersonated by Miss sara
Biala, who was over on the East Side
last season. She made her part vivid
and vigorous bit Of acting. but the play
used her as "Jimmy's" Nemesis, and so
he had to go after the family washer
womans twins SUCCESSFULLY
Everybody fools father and he goes
through three degrees OF ecstacy when ne
is told that the first was really twins
and then that it was really threes- And
while everybody is fooling father, every
body in the audience is laughing at and
& bit with him.

But. presumably he doesn't find IT neces
gary 20 go back to Detroit.
