Beatrice Lillie, who was in the 1928 production. Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, p. 286

The bachelor Bob Martin ( Jack Whiting) wants to borrow a great deal of money from his rich uncle (Frank Doane) so that he can finance a musical starring his girlfriend Polly (Irene Dunne). He knows that his free-and-easy life style will not impress the old man, so Martin convinces his maid Tilly (Beatrice Lillie) to pose as his wife and the twosome “borrow” the neighbor’s baby to present to the uncle a picture of domestic bliss. The expected complications result and the expected happy ending followed.
