"Baby Mine" Brings
New Star to Screen

The first comedy offering of Gold
wyn Pictures, Margaret Mayo's
screaming farce, "Baby Mine, " which
will be shown Friday and Saturday at
the Tabernacle, introduces a new star
in motion pictures. She is Madge
Kennedy, the famous cOmedienne OF
Twin Beds, " Fair and Warmer"
and other stage productions that have
been big successes.
Miss Kennedy plays the role of
ZOie in the picture presentation of
the comedy, which in stage form had
a run of nearly two seasons in New
York.
Zoie is a light-hearted bride whose
yearning for Suppers and theatres
leads her uncompromising young hus-
band to abandon her. Her scheme
to get him back furnishes the situa-
tions around which the comedy re-
wolves. After he has been away for
some months, Zoie causes his return
with an announcement that a baby
boy has come to the household.
There is no such thing, but Zoie pro-
poses to get one from a children's
home.
But Alfred, the husband, played by
Frank Morgan, gets home sooner
than expected. There is no baby on
hand, and Jimmy, Alfred's friend
John Cumberland) who is brought
into the plot by Zoie, steals a baby
from the founding home.
The mother of the stolen child is
soon in pursuit of her baby, so while
Alfred is rejoicing over the arrival of
an heir, il becomes necessary for
Jimmie to get another baby. He
"borrows" one of the washwoman's
twins and, the first baby not having
been returned. Alfred is told that he
is the father of twins. The resulting
complications make all the fun.

Work on the 35l-foot obeliSk, be-
ing erected as the chief feature of
Jefferson Davis Memorial Park at
Fairview, has been discontinued un-
til next spring. The shaft is being
made Of reinforced concrete and the
weather is now so cold further con-
crete work is impossible.
The obelisk is now eighty-eight feet
high and Gen. Bennett H. Young, Of
Louisville, president OF the Memorial
Park Association, figures that this is
three-fifths of the job. The solid con-
crete foundations and extra thick bas-
ic walls more than offset the height
yet to be attained, Gen. Y oung visit
ed the park Friday aud expressed his
satisfaction with the work. Erection
OF the obelisk will be resumed in the
spring, and will, it is hoped, be
completed by the fall of next year.
Contractor Gregg, of Louisville, is
