1917, English. Directed by Jack Conway.
Three bachelor buddies, David Clark (Jack Conway), Dick Porter (Richard LeReno), and Jerry Mathers (George Webb) adopt three Belgian children who have been orphaned by the war.

In fact, she's determined to find him a wife who will also serve as a foster mom for her.
