were going to give the baby to some
one why didn't she give it to Il wom-

Bee was rather old-fashoned. after
all. 1t would never enter her head

New Yark-Business has prosper
ed for Gains this summer. That
means that business has been poor
in the Broadway theatres. For
Gains is the graveyard of stage
failures, Il great storehousc beyond
Tenth avenue and in the precincts
of Hell's Kitchen. When Il show
flOps, as Broadwayites put it, the
scenery and properties arc cartcd
away to this great barn.
The business was established 30
years ago by John j. Cain. an eX-
policeman Then i cart and one
horse sufficed for the trips between
the Great White Way and the ware
house. This summer Patrick j. Cain,
the founders son, bought fleet of
new electric trucks and it is his
boast that he can move 20 loads Of
props a day.
There in the mouldcring dust of
the warehouse are the specters of
great ambitions and greater defeats.
:. bed upon which some aspiring Ca
mile expired. Gilt crowns and regal
trains that swept across the stage q.
make believe empires tOtteTd in the
balance of queens romance. Rain
and storm devices that sent shivers
down the spine of an audience as
the mortgage was forecloscd on the
old homestead.
And about it all the atmosphere of
tobacco ashes, chips and empty
glasses where gamblers have sat and
lost.
But all that is Inferred in Gains
is not without hope Of redemption
The manager Of new show will
