Story Summary:
Rejected from a hotel, an unhappy and destitute theatrical troupe took refuge by a railroad station. There the comedian, F. Funnymore, found an old news-paper containing an "ad." He read it to his destitute companions and they beat it madly for the address, for the "ad" stated that a certain Mrs. Brown wanted professionals to assist in a church entertainment. Making a feast of the fruit in Mrs. Brown's dining room, they are finally all hired. The comedian is given the part of a baby. In baby clothes, Mr. J. Funnymore was quite the funniest baby Mrs. Brown or yourself has ever seen. He was a fairly contented baby until Mre. Brown began to rehearse her part as Leah, the Forsaken. Then Mr. J. Funnymore beat it, beat it hard, in baby clothes and mighty glad he had them. -Moving Picture World, December 14, 1912, p. 1122.
