This article focuses on the play "Daddies." In the play, four members of a Bachelor Club, in celebration of their fifteenth anniversary, are persuaded to adopt a war-orphan apiece. The child actors are naturally the chief interest in the play, and seldom does one see theatrical children so untheatrical. If children must be on the stage, it is a relief to find them in so wholesome a performance. The production was marred by the artificiality of the plotting mother. These, however, but pointed the contrast of the tender charm and unconsciousness of an exquisite seventeen-year-old English orphan.
