"sAeY MINE" IS PLEASING.
Popular Comedy Well Presented at tho
Calumet Thester.

Baby Mine" Margaret Mayo's clever
farce comedy. was greeted with hap
'tlsm of laughter on its first presenta-
ton at the Calumet theater last even
ing. The audience was not large. but
IL was highly approcietive and every
minute of the fourRcts, was thoroughly
enjoyed
The plot is decidedly out of the or
binary. dealing with an adorins wife
who has fallen into the habit of lying
over the most trivial Of affairs. In
many OF these lies her husband has
caught her. Finally, after she has de-
celved her suspicious husband over an
innocent luncheon that she has been to
with friend of his, he becomes very
angry and leaves his wife.
The wife leaves no stone unturned to
win back his affections. and finally in
despair takes the advice of her closest
friend, and sends wire to the hus-
band to come home Immediately and
see the young son that has just been
born. The husband of her closest
friend knows the superintendent of an
orphan asylum, and agrees to have Il
baby on hand at the proper time.
Complications come thick and fast.
Her friends husband does not arrive
with the adopted baby till after the
fond father appears. Before the diff
Guilty of the non-a appearance Of his
child is satisfactorily accounted for the
over suspicious husband becomes the
father of triplets.
Despite these seemingly Impossible
series of incidents the comedy is real
and wholesome, and the final at the
last yields a screaming climax to one
of the cleverest light comedies that
has been seen here for some time.
The heavy parts of the play were d.
| ided among four principals, and the
other members of the cast had little
to do Nanon Welch, as Zoie. Alfred
Hardy's wife. and John J. McCabe as
