knew how to order eggs benedict

Henry's movie roles, of course, are
to blame. Since he came out here
seven years ago to make 1.-THE

the almost 100 per cent homespun
kid. Only on couple of isolated
occasions have producers given him
a crack at city stories and city
clothes. Don't get the idea Henry
is kidding when he says he's deeply
concerned about the situation. He's
plain, burnin' up mad and wishes
something could be done to re-
establish his status in the eyes of

But it is combination that
