"B ably Nine"

Baby Nine is not the funniest play
that was ever written but there are
some decidedly mirth provoking Sit
nations in the third act, which is the
best of the three of Margaret Mayo's
farce comedy, which was presented,
Wednesday evening, at the Opera
house. Some funny situations develop
in the first two acts but it is not until
the closing act with three babies
nine that the fun reaches it's climax.
The audience that witnessed the per-
Torrance vas not a large one but it
was decidedly sympathetic and freely
applauded the players.
The plot of the story centers around
the ruse of a loving but prevaricating
wife to bring back her husband, who
has left her and in order to carry out
her ruse it becomes necessary for her
friends husband to steal, not only one
but three babies, of which the return
ed husband believes he is the father
until the wife finally confesses the de-
eeption.
Easily the star Of the comedy is

obliged to face angry parents and po-
