HONEYMOON TOWN. IS RIOTOUS COMEDY At THE IRIS

Continual laughter echoed back and
forth from the parquet to the balcony
iist night when the Boyd B. Trous-

Honeymoon Town" a comedy in
rhree acts. Mr.. T%rousdnle was the
; aiding laugh-maker and persisted n
Nay. ng havoc with the d'aphrams of
his audience as well rs tn the do

The tale centers around a couple
who have been married only two
months. Two other newly married
rouples also make their way into Il.
Nr. and Mrs Jack Dunbar have been
~'nexcusabIy happy for the entire eight
weeks. The husband 's detained from
the house over night by a perfectly
unreasonable reason. He starts to tell
N's wife the truth OF the matter. She
~~fuses to believe so absurd n reason

When the wife has threatened to

II only remains to bring everybody
including the butler INTO the trouble

'ng the first and secoud act but
works up to the climax OF his role IN
the third until every move he makes
keeps the crowd roaring.
Jerry Houck makes an admirable
young husband, high minded and so.
r'ous, polished and well.bred, but with
no particular objection to deceit II he

Dorothy Moran takes the role OF
K'mball's ndoring and adorable wife
who would never think OF doubling
her husband but who nevertheless
has the god OF skeptic!sm thrust into
her face.
The young Mr.. Fowler with Nell
