My ul HWH0'S BATTY NOW?H In this sparkling new farce-comedy you had the pleasure of meeting the Hattersg those mad, merry Hatters who were as lovable and laughable a family of eccentrics as you've ever come across. There was Nick Hat- ter fFrancis Chaffeej, head of the family who raised bats as a hobby. You followed with shrieks of merriment, the hilarious courtship of Wil- bur and Cynthia, two of the bats. There was Googie Hatter fBarbara Waggenerj, the maiden aunt who practiced standing on her head so that she could become adept at Yogi. Then there were the four Hatter chil- dren, all named after months of the year: January fChester Rembachg, who wanted to be a magician, nine-year-old March fDorothy Wardy, w o had memorized an encyclopedia: June 4Gail Robertsony, who believed crim- inals should be reformed instead of punishedg and August qClark Rousep. August and his girl, Stella fGerry Langy, are the only normal members of the family. August was trying to get a factory started and had hopes of interesting Bartley Snoode fJim Huttenlochery, a young millionaire. The latter was about to visit the Hatters with his mother, Mrs. Antwerp Snoode qSylvia Petersenj, of the Four Hundred. August pleads with his family to Uact normaln while the Snoodes are there so that Bartley will come across with the money. But, alas! This was not to be. For just at this time June brought to the house Eddie the Rat qJim Smithy, an escaped convict whom she was trying to reform. Tillie qElaine Porrittj, comes back from Hollywood, after having gone on a wild goose chase to become an actress. The salesman fBob Rosej, and the radio announcer qSteve Bilbeyy, only add to the confusion. At the end of the play June discovers Eddie to be only an actor, August persuades Bartley to come across with the money, Mrs. Snoode becomes interested in Aunt Googie's Yogi, Stella and August are happy, Nick is still raising his bats, March has memorized another encyclopedia, and Jan is still practicing his magic.
