"Henpeeked Henry" Tonight at Hip,

"Henpeeked Henry" Tonight at Hipp.
The always popular farce comedy
"Henpecked Henry" will be staged
by Halton Powell's Hello Girls at the
Hippodrome today. Regardless of the
fact that it has several times been
presented here II will prove good
drawing card. The irresistably funny
situations with which it teens are
always sure to provoke the risibles.
There is also the assurance that 1t
will be given an excellent interpre-
tation Powell owns the right to pro.
duction and has one-night stand
company playing it through Iowa at
the present time. The principals in
the company here have all been with
the big show at one time or other
and the tabloid version to be given
here will therefore be the real goods.
Besides there is an excellent muScal
and chorus program distributed
throughout the play, which gives 1t
added zest. The two plays presented
thus for this week have been highly
satisfactory and appealed strongly to
lovers of the better grade of comedy
The lines are witty and the situations
humorous enough to make the most
confirmed stole laugh good and long
but there is an absence of low"
comedy and knock.about antics. and
it is perfectly decent "Henpecked
