Douglas MacLean. and Mar
garet Morris Are Starred
in Speedy. Comedy
'In "That's My Baby." his latest
hilarious starring vehicle, Douglas
MacLean returns to the rollicking,
swift rolling type, of situation
comedy typified by such, past suc
cesses as "The Hottentot," "Going
Up" and "Introduce Me." A first
night audience yesterday at the !
Oregon theater greeted the pro-!
duction wit --' aad continu
ous roars of laughter.
Unlike many of the other cur
rent farces. "That's My Baby" has
the novelty of a series of situa
tions that are refreshingly new.
The irrepressible MacLean plays
the role of an infatuated young
man. who falls in love with a fem
inine . ankle, starts a whirlwind
courtship of the ankle's lovely
owner, only to find himself sud
denly saddeled with a strange
baby -- - - - when he needs a
baby about as much as he needs
smallpox.
Comic complications pile up with
increasing rapidity and take an
unexpected, turn when MacLean
gives the girl's father what he
thinks Is a headache powder' but
which turns out to be poison.
Tha llfe-and-death chase that
follows involves automobiles, air
planes, parachutes and a load of
hay. If yon can Imagine MacLean
experiencing all the thrills, of a
daredevil stunt aviator and the
driver of a racing auto, while still
encumbered with the baby, you'll
have a faint idea of the hysterical
fun generated by this episode.
Under William Beaudine's ca
pable direction, a notable support
lng cast ably seconds the happy-
go-lucky MacLean. Margaret Mor
ris makes a particularly attractive
heroine, and the work of Claude
Gillingwater, Eugenie Forde,
Wade Boteler, Richard Tucker and
Fred Kelsey is exceptionally cred
itable. The pciture will be held
over for the last show on Monday
