Daddies

Daddies
   David Belasco produced John L. Hobble's comedy, which ran for 340 performances at the Belasco Theatre beginning on 5 September 1918. Several happy bachelors who resist marriage and raising children are persuaded to adopt war orphans. The play explores their varied experiences, with particular focus on writer Robert Aubrey, who is shocked to discover that his orphan is actually vivacious 17-year-old Ruth Atkins. She convinces Aubrey to use his skills as a writer to win support for the plight of other war orphans. Aubrey falls in love with Ruth and surrenders his prized bachelor status. George Abbott played one of the bachelors. Mae Marsh starred as Ruth in the 1924 motion picture version.
