Make it light!

Make a little joke!

A little joke?

Okay!

Good evening, everyone!

It is being prophesied

that our own!!!

Harry Frazee's

Red Sox of Boston!!!

may very well win

the pennant race this year!

Allow me to introduce to you

the reason why!

The young man

they call...

the ""Baby Ruth!''

Well, this is

a nice place!!!

and I smell some

real good eats!

Everybody

looks real nice!

My owner there,

he's a good fella!

He gave me some

words to say, but!!!

he talks so fast,

I can't remember what they were!

Oh!

Okay, okay.

Here's one.

Okay, grand-dam!

When I count three,

pull the finger!

One!!! two--

""Pull it,'' did you say?

Give it a tug, sis!

Three!

'Board!

Oh, my God!

Gauche,

absolutely gauche!

That was not becoming of

a professional baseball athlete!!!

let alone

a civilized human being!

Hell's bells, dad,

you told me to make a joke!

You go back to the hotel

and sober up!

You have a baseball game

to perform for me tomorrow!

And don't you ever

address me as ""dad'' again!

Now, go!

Hey...

I saw a fella in Paris could flatulate

to the tune of""Molly, My Dear!''

But I bet you he wouldn't

have the tripes to do it!!!

at one of Mrs! Ballister's

social affairs!

Say, you're

a good-lookin' dame!

And you're

quite the slugger!

I saw you hit a home run last

week off of WalterJohnson!

It went through the plate

glass at the Ukrainian diner!

I used to get arrested for that!

Now they give me a check!

I've never seen

a lady smoke before!

Don't tell Mr! Frazee!

Oh, yeah, right,

that guy!

I'm trying out for his next

musical! I'm an actress!

He wants to tell me

what to do all the time!

I don't like people

tellin' me what to do!

Do you?

Where have you been

all my life, Baby Ruth?

St! Mary's Industrial

School for Boys!

Ready?

Set.

Go!

Go!

Ready! Go!

Set! Go!

No, thank you!

Why do you have dinner rolls

in your pocket?

That lady's

got a ton of'em!

At the home, you gotta

grab 'em when you can!

Why were you in there,

in that home?

I was bad! Here!

Ready?

Set!

Go!

What do Mom and Dad think

about their bad boy now?

I don't know!

My mom passed

when I was inside!!!

and my dad, I ain't

never heard from him!

You want to get out of this

church and go raise some hell?

Programs!

Read about the Babe.

Get your programs here!

Read the story about Babe.

- Did Ruth show yet?

- Not yet!

I got two down, Tris on third!

I need the Baby!

Jumpin'Joe,

check the clubhouse!

Jidge!

- Hey, Slick!

- Oh, my God!

I had a time last night!

We drank a case of champagne!

We were drinkin' the grape right

out of the bottle! Look at you!

You're shellacked!

Pull yourself together! You can't
