FIVE BACHELORS
 ADOPT CHILDREN
Then Fun Starts In Be-
 lasco's 'Daddies'. At Jefferson.

Those theatregoers who have over looked previous opportunities to see and enjoy the All-Star Jefferson Players in their production of "Daddies," are warned that there are only three more performances before this Belasco tri- umph concludes it's weeks run. The management adds the further warning that the demand for seats for "Daddies" is unusually large and it is advised that reservations be made. early.
 "Daddies" is comedy that has hu- nor, human appeal and just balanc- ing touch of sympathy that puts it in a class by itself. It ,is-the story of five bachelors who decide that he travels best who travels alone and that they will always travel alone. Then five orphans come on the scene and things begin to grow different immediately.
 Arthur Byron, as the leader of the bachelors, has the best role he has ever had in Birmingham, which is a large statement. Miss Kathleen Comegys makes Ruth a charming person, while DeForrest Dawley, Bernard Nedell, Miss Tamzon Manker, Hal Crane, Miss Helen Ray, Peter Buffers, Miss Marion Evenson and George Westlake add their competent assistance in rounding out flawless cast.
