1 GOODWIN'S WEEKLY 7 worthless by shifting the monopoly to a new com pany and the cash portion of the heritage goes up in blaze and smoke. Thus far the incidents, derived by Winchell Smith from a series of short stories by George Randolph Chester, are given for laughter. The malce-up of the play is peculiar. Along towards ten o'clock it suddenly sobers un. Bobby has bought experience at a bankrupting cost. But with the small residue of his fortune he sets about rebuilding the burned structures. He does it with a newspaper by exposing the crimes of the political boss and driving him out of town a fugitive from justice. Having done that he re vives the prosperity of the electric company, re gains possession of the department store and marries the right girl. For some reason, not eaBy to tell, women who usually decline to take an interest in a political or commercial play are much absorbed in the comic fall and the serious rise of Bobby Burnit. The result may be due in part, however, to Bobby's personator, Wallace Eddinger, who has grown up to be an expert and very agreeable comedian since he was a pretty prodigy in "Little Lord Fauntleroy" and "The Girl I Left Behind Me." He makes Bobby the chump engaging, especially as a sturdy lover of the girl who believes his follies are wisdoms. Three babies are in "Baby Mine." One young wife has them in a single night. That is to say, she gets them. But she is not a mother at all. Twins are bought from her laundress and a third is stolen from a hospital. The wife pre tends to have given birth to one, then to two and finally to the litter, to fool her husband. She has not seen him since he went away in a huff three months ago. The estrangement came of various bickering, but mainly of his desire to be , a father and her determination not to be a mother. She misses him fondly. How to bring him back? His farewell words were, "You are a race mur deress." News of a new-born boy would fetch him. Hence the night of babies. Zoie, the wife is abetted in her plot by her crony, Aggie. Alfred, the husband wires back that he will hasten home. The time-table says he will get there tomorrow morning. Aggie's husband, Jimmy, goes to a hospital for an-lnfant already bargained for, but the mother changes her mind and won't give it up. 'Phoning to other places of new babyhood Is in vain. And from Alfred comes a telegram that he will arrive by a special train at midnight. Good heavens! What's to be done? Jimmy must get by force the babe that was bargained for. He does it un dei the women's coercion and in fear of the law against kidnapping. So the child is placed in Alfred's arms. And his dearest hope is real ized. It is a boy. The people widen their eyes and lengthen their necks at first sight of the bogus mother. She is a small woman in a big bed. Her pal is chalking the bloom from her cheeks to give an aspect of illness, yet doing up her hair in a way to look well. Suddenly she breaks the mock pose of weakness prone prettily but pitifully on her back, springs out of bed and becomes such a strong and healthy creature in a nightgown 'i as might be a school-girl out for a pillow fight jfc in a college dormitory. What Is the people's first " impulsive action? They use their glasses to see if her feet are bare. They aro in black slippers; but the stockings are light pink and may be taken for cuticle if anyone wishes to.
