HENPECKED HENRY

The best thing about "Henpecked
Henry at the Grand last night was
the fact that it let out at 9:45.
Another feature-two male mem
bers of the very limited and select
audience were even more enthusiastic
than the ushers over the show and
created entertainment for their fellow
spectators.
"'Henpecked Henry is all right for
the boys out in the sticks" 1t is
burlesquey, has just enough of the
naughty, naughty in it to tickle the
postoffice loafers and exhibits a few
limbs of varied sizes for the enlight-
eminent of the town bachelors.
There is one fellow in the show
who, some day, should land a job. His
name appears as Nate Busby on the
program. He played a blackface part
last night and really showed signs of
cleverness in certain parts. Another
hit was Eastwood Harrison, who
took the part of "Bowser." He looked
like Jiggs in Bringing Up Father
The chorus was composed of a half
dozen girls. The scenery never was
changed-an old dust covered side
board, three porch chairs and a bottle
wrapped in tissue paper. The jokes
were rather stale in these parts but
may pass elsewhere. Topeka's excel
lent railway facilities keep her posted
on the latest Ford stories.

AT THE THEATERS

Twin Beds" the laugh festival by
Salisbury Field and Margaret Mayo,
with which Selwyn and Company
scored the longest run of the past sea-
son-a precise fifty-two weeks, will
come to the Grand tonight.
Selwyn and Company, with their
productions of within the Law"
Under Cover" The Show Shop"
The Lie" Under Fire" and Roll
ing Stones.' have made their name a
hallmark of undeniable value. and
that they promise typical Selwyn and
Company cast of comedians for the To-
cal engagement of Twin Beds" and
an exact duplicate of rne original pro-
duction which was so lavishly praised
in New York is final guarantee that
this best of farces will have here the
best of exposition.
Twin Beds is powerful proof that
mirth comes more surely and more
continuously from clean farces than
from naughty ones-it is as whole
some as high wind. and there is not,
in all its wealth of striking line and
situation, one thing to offend even the
most sheltered taste.
One of the most amusing creatures
the stage has seen in a blue moon is
