The "Baby Mine" company play
ed at the Lyric Monday afternoon
and evening and both performances
were greeted by large houses. The
presentation offered much fun and
genuine amusement to the large au-
dience. The parts were well taken
and the performers were all artists
in their special lines. The play is
founded on the fact that in the city
of Chicago there are over 5000 hus-
bands fondling infants not their own
and they are none the wiser. The
play was amusing and full of ready
wit and humor and the audience
was not allowed one dull moment
during the entire play.

new line. Other Seelyville industries
will likely use the power if the lines
go through. An effort was made
some time ago by the people of that
locality to have q line run through
