"DADDY LONG LEGS" "Daddy Long Legs," which comes to the Orpheum Friday and Saturday, September 10-11, has been described by many reviewers as "a cornedv that breathes the spirit of youth." It is a tender love story built around a quaint little Cinderella in real life. Judy Abbott, the whimsical young heroine, begins life as a foundling girl in an orphan asylum. Her life is lightened by vivid day dreams in which she fancies herself a student in a girl's college, with plenty of pretty frocks to \ wear, money to spend and all the other delightful blessings that fall to the fortunate girls who live in the unknown world beyond the walls of her asylum-home. The three big acts of "Daddy Long I.egs" tell how her dreams come true through the reck less generosity of a modern Prince Charming.
