The Borrowed Baby (1910)

The mixup all starts from the decision of the Bugleville Dramatic Society to produce an amateur play. The cast calls for a baby. They believing it necessary to have a real baby at rehearsal, one of the girls volunteers to go to the home of a friend and borrow one. The friend happens to be out at the time, but a note which is left on the table explaining the situation lows out the window. There is first shown the experience of the baby in the hands of the amateur dramatic society and then the sensation when the mother reaches home and discovers that the baby is gone. The village constable is called in and the house is ransacked without results. In the meantime, however, the rehearsal is ended and the company proceeds to the baby's home. The leading man is detailed to take the baby in. Of course he falls into the hands of the constable, who thinks he is a kidnapper, and the picture ends in a scream of laughter with everyone trying to explain.
