Title: Poster for "The Bachelor's Baby"
Description: Color lithograph. Across the top the caption reads "The Colonial Theatre Company Presents" and below that in much larger letters is "Etienne Girardot" followed by "in Francis Wilson's Comedy The Bachelor's Baby." The image shows Girardot seated on the floor across from a female child and smiling at her. The caption at bottom repeats Baby Davis's line from the play, "There's one thing I want to ast [sic] you?" This was Francis Wilson's most popular work, running for 192 performances at the Criterion in 1909-10 with Wilson in the role of Thomas Beech. In 1910 it was made into a one-reel silent film for Vitagraph. Wilson was sued for use of the title by the estate of Coyne Fletcher, who had written a novel with the same title.
