stronger than Death" is a screen
adaptation of the brilliant novel by L.
A. r. Wylie. 1t is a story of a beau
tiful and poetic love, which develops
between a man and a woman paced
by fate into an atmosphere of danger

"DADDIES," BIG NEW YORK ACT
COMING TO MAJESTIC MARCH 9

More than ordinary interest at
taches to the coming of David Be-
lasco's "Daddies" due at the Majestic
Theatre for n performance only,
Tuesday, March 3.
This is the dramatic comedy OF
which local theatregoers have heard
much since its remarkable run of
one year at the BelaSco and Lyceum
Theatres in New York and which Mr..
Belasco will present here as seen In
the metropolis. Already there has
been a brisk inquiry for seats, SO
there is every indication that Dad
dies' will receive as warm a welcome
here is accorded it in New York.
"Daddies" is the workCef John L.
Hobble and the story has to do with
five misogyni9ts who form a bache-
Tors club for their mutual protection
against the wiles of m Through
a series of developments h a are en-
tiroly convincing, the quintette Is
persuaded to adopt foundlings from
the scene of the World War. AS a
rest from the Vaccinations of a clever
mother. the most virulent hater OF
the deadly sex is saddled with a tiny
girl instead of the boy he had stip-
ulated in his grudging agreement. An
other gets his In the form of trtplets
an a third finds himself the adopted
father OF a tender. rose-like lovable
maiden of seventeen summers. The
outcome of the plot must be apparent
to the experienced observers of plays
that do not disdain wholesome senti-
ment. The absolute n~aturalness of
the story and the dexterous blending
of potent emotions should win the
highest praise for the play.
The same great asst hat was seen
in New York will interpret the ar
ious parts here and includes John w.
Cope, Janet Travers. Charles Ham
mond, Wlnifred Fraser, Herbert For
tier, George Abbott, s.. e. Walker,
Claude Brooke, Lorna Amber, Sally
Fysher, Lorna Volare, Aida Armand,
The Quinna and others.
