Parentage, a Message, Coming to the
 Davis Next Week.

The cast of characters in Parentage, the seven part feature coming to the Davis theatre, is made up of types from everyday life and they are dis tinctive. because they have been es- pecialfy chosen to fit their parts.
 In this way, Hobart Henley, the di- rector, has made each part stand out, so that people who see the play will find in each character. the double of someone they know in real life
 Types of boys called the "shanty gang" are particularly well drawn the type of the constructive young man, the type of the "waster," the types so well known as "gossips"- and types of children are few in whom it is easy to read their charac- teristics. But not only are tneir faces m index into their character in Par entage, but during the entire play they enact their parts in the most convinc- ing manner, the character fitting the part, and the part the character.
 The real value of Percentage tc patrons, besides bringing home to then vital problems of life, is the fact that 1t is human document; humarily played by human beings as easily rec. pgnized as you and your neighbors.
