BAKER "Remnant," a play written
around' the life of a typical little street
waif of Paris, will be the offering of
the BSker Stock company for the week
penlng this afternoon. It enjoyed a
long run at the Oalto theatre. Farts,
over s year, In fact, and also ssvsn
months at the Theatre Royal. London,
after which it came to New Tork and,
with Florence Nash In the title role ran
the better part of a season on Broadway.
Just a release for stock, and with an
ideal role for Verna Felton as the little
guttersnipe who spreads gladness and
kindness everywhere she goes, it should
prove a most popular attraction for
lovers of the spoken drama this week.
A young and erratic inventor in Paris
named Tony is just perfecting a new
airplane and, as is the custom among
many in the world's great fashion center,
is living with a woman whom he expects
to marry some day. She is mean and
selfish and hopes only for the money
his success will bring them. One day
a most unusual little girl brings in the
laundry and her actions and sayings at
tract Tony's attention. He learns that
she Is Just a little waif of the streets
and because the wash woman is 111 is
helping her deliver the clothes.
The result of this visit finally brings '
the girl, who Is known by no other name !
than '"Remnant." to become a sort Of
ward in the house, and the story has to
do with her many adventures and the
things that happen to others because of .
her presence there. Some have called t
"Remnant" the Parisian "Peg o' My.
Heart" and others the "BratC but It.
is original in itself and will be found
highly interesting and entertaining. It
will continue all week at the Baker with
matinees today, Wednesday and Satur
day. ...
