I'm SO HAPPY"
FULL OF COMEDY
Farce Brings Up
roarious daughters; Bow
ers Gets Big Ovation

Everyone who saw the musical
farce at the Orpheum last night
came away unconsciously echoing the
very title of the popular production
I'm So Happy" Seldom has Harris
burg had the opportunity to enjoy
such a comedy production of this
kind, but when one comes along, the
folks aren't slow to give applause
and show unbounded appreciation.
Encores were called last night on
every song and dance number. and
sometimes there were at least half
dozen recalls,-an enviable record
for any play appearing only one day
in city.
OF course Frederick v. Bowers was
the big star in the farce, but the
others in the cast were almost equal
ly as successful in pleasing the
crowds. Bowers was given big ova-
tions mary times during the even
ing and when he came out between
the second and third acts and sang a
few patriotic songs the audience
wildly applauded. A feature of the
evening was the turnout of delegates
to a convention of wholesale ice
cream manufacturers. who added
much to the mirth of the evening.
Now for a line about I'm So
Happy" Hubby in this play does
the usual thing; has a little adven-
ture with another girl; then tries to
keep out of marital troubles at home
with wife and mother-in-law by a
series of mirth provoking prevari-
cations which lead to ridiculous and
comical complications. Hubby's
niece arrives from France; his de-
signing mother-in-law wants her to
become the bride of a son and more
trouble turns up when it is found
the niece and an old bachelor friend
of Friend Husband, are in love with
each other.
Mr.. Bowers as Arthur Fairfax, the
husband, is the victim who Is IN

appears as Mary Fairfax. his wife;
Mary Kilcoyne. as Mrs. Fuller the

to have one of his operatives pose as

Introductory card. Moore calls at
the office shortly afterward and meets

Word has come to the Blackburn
home of the contemplated visit by
Lord RoXenham. The house is in
furore to greet him. Moore arrives
and soon convinces his hosts that
he is no different from the noble
men they've met or read about. His
naughty strut, his bored air on being
introduced to guests. his way of hold
ing a monocle in its place-all prove
to those about him that here is a true
representative of the British House
of Lords. Even the girl he is there
to protect is credulous when he tells
her of his great estate across the
pond Moore is later unmasked, but
he has a great time of it while he
lasts as Lord RoXenham.

Dainty Florence Hplbrook, the

sical comedy that comes to the Or

attention to the practical serious in

this good taste and not endless dis
cussion is necessary. The reason that
you so often find working girl well
dressed is because she hasn't the time
to spend that her Weather sister has
in selecting her clothes. This sounds
funny but when a woman spends so
much time over a costume, her imagi-
nation runs riot and the result is
quite likely to be a Christmas tree
effect. 1t is a shame the way some
women allow themselves to be slaves
