 Here is a classy, snappy show, the plot of which is the complications that result from a man marrying one of twin sisters and on the night of his marriage, not knowing which one he married, goes on honeymoon with the wrong girl.
 Originally, His Bridal Night was i comedy, but after it's first season, it was musicaliZed by Frederick " Bow CTS, one of the best known song writers of the day. A dozen melodies are in cluded and a chorus of stage beauties add much charm to the otherwise eX- cellent performance.
