ALFREDTON PICTURES
JANE WITHERS ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
‘‘Forty-five Fathers,” is a fun-pack-ed Twentieth Century-Fox picture starring Jane Withers, and featuring Thomas Beck, Louise Henry and the inimitable Hartmans, eccentric ventriloquists and Broadway satirists which will be shown at Alfredton on Thursday night. A group of millionaires draws lots to determine "which lucky man is going to have his life brightened by this sweet. little girl?” and then shout for help as Jane starts throwing things around and the ventriloquizing Hartmans start throwing their dancing, voices and discretion to the winds in the funniest picture Jane ever made. A series of hilarious situations get under way when the inseparable trio, after arriving in New York, find their way to the club where the solemn members are thrown into an uproar as Jane goes on a riotous rampage. Taken by Richard Carle. "Lucky” winner in the drawing, to his nephew’s home, Jane, in spite of her uproarious antics, takes time out to study the interest of Louise Henry, an attractive but scheming society girl, in Thomas Beck, and proceeds to rescue him from the entanglement. The picture rises to still greater heights of merriment when it reaches the climax.
