Matt Kennedy is at the head OF

There are several reasons why It
would be well TO go 10 the show for
a session OF laughing. but undoubt-

boast about his REVOLVER.
Miss Lillian Smalley, not a
stranger TO Cadillac patrons. has
the leading female role. She has
an excellent voice. and the archl-

"Ah reckonH that nobody

Up In NAH holler tree"
To have heard him you would
have thought that Unc' Billy Pos
sum devoted most OF his time to
those babies he was forever talking
about and singing to himself about,
when the truth is he had almost
nothing to do with them save TO
look In on them once In awhile and
grin. Hut that didn't mean that he
wasn't just as proud and happy an
he pretended TO be. He was. IL Ia
q way a great many fathers have.
They think their babies the most
wonderful babies In the world. but
they leave the care of them to their
mothers. which after all Is. | guess.
. very good thing.
The fact Is. Unc' Billy had dis
covered that his room was pre-
ferred to his company IN the hollow
tree where he made his home: and
more often than not old Mrs. Pos
sum chased him out when he did
come home. But Unc' Billy didn't
mind. He just srinned good natur-
eddy. II was all for tho sake of
the babies. so he went about In
the Green Forest telling whoever
would listen what wonderful babies
he had back there IN the hollow
tree. the most wonderful. the most
beautiful, the smartest babies in the
world.
His neighbors would turn their
heads to hide their smiles. Most
of them had babies OF their own
and they knew perfectly we'll that
theirs were the most wonderful. the
most beautiful, the smartest in the
world. but II Unc' Billy thought his
were. why let him. II was part OF
the pleasure OF having babies.
"How many babies have you got.

Unc' Billy scratched his head and
locked foolish. Fact is. Brer Rao-
bit, All don rightly know" he con.
fessed.
what You don't know how
many babies you've got?" Peter
looked as II ne thought he couldn't
have heard right.
Uno' Billy looked more foolish
than ever and HIS grin Was such a
shecplsh grin that Peter laughed
right out.

"Ah done have no chance TO count

so Peter went about telling every
body that Unc' Billy Possum had
80 many children that he couldn't

found himself very important. Every

drop around TO inquire about those
babies and Unc' Billy would tell
