Music was played before the curtain rose on the first act of play number 1â€"â€" "The Mummy Steps Out." This was pure farce, but well acted. An eccenâ€" tric chap with scientific leanings gots the mad idea of buying an Egyptian mummy in order to expgriment with it. He has the notion that in some psychic fashion he can get it to talk. His daughter wants to marry a young lawy» er, but father refuses consent to any but a scientific sonâ€"inâ€"law. Young lawyer gets the brilliant idea of first persuading pa that if he can make the mummy talk he can have the girl, then doing just that, by substituting a needy pal for the mummy, (who does it for a consideration), and who scares pa and a young niggerâ€"boy into fits in the process. All works beautifully and curtain falls on Act 2 with all‘s well in the Bellew home.

The last scene with his son is enacted in the dim light (son played by Fornâ€" leigh Uren) and the audience scos clearly that injustice of the father comâ€" bined with other things has crushed a sensitive soul, and been the cause of the lad‘s rash act. It is the anniversary of their on!ly son‘s deathâ€"he died by his own handâ€" and the parents are thinking of it. The mother (played by Joan Maxwellâ€" Smith) is sad. The fatherâ€"a distinct typeâ€"the hard disciplinary "neverâ€" wrong" kind, is annoyed with her. He says the boy did it out of "puppy love" for a girl who married somebody else. (Father played by Dick Christie). They speak their thoughts. The mother says the father was too harsh with him as a boy; the father says the mother was too lenient, shielding the lad when he should have been punished.
