Fort Wayne, Sunday evening December 2Sth. Following a run of three hundred and sixty five days of continuous laughter at the Belasco Theatre. New York, David Belasco’s most recent success “It’s A Wise Child" will move into the Mizpah Shrine Theatre next week where at the hands of the Minturn Players it will duplicate for seven days every one of the laughs *hat made New York shriek with delight for so many months. "It's A Wise Child" is the story of a successively white, scarlet, red art! whitewashed lie a girl tells in an effort to break a distasteful engagement. She plunges the whole family in;o something of a mess by telling it. but decides to let tile story go the limit when she discovers that not one of her family oi friends doubts her announcement. One by one the male members among the young girl's friends come under the searching eye of suspicion. Their predicaments supply most of the comic situations m the play. "It's A Wise Child" might just as easily have been called “It's a Wise Father" except that in the' main case in question, there is no I father.
