20p-30e jj J. I ff HALTON POWELL MUSICAL COMEDY COMPANY IN "HENPECKED HENRY" is a stern intoning upon the note of realism: a ruthless drawing aside of character curtains. You find yourself standing abashed before a nakedness of soul that the photoplay reveals as the story did. The plot takes you from New England to China and back again and introduces you to a man and a girl separated through the fault of their elders. The man, a sea captain, goes abroad to forget.

In China it becomes his lot to rescue a Manchu princess from insult. He saves her, but. because alien hands have touched her. death must be her fate, according to the laws of her house. Touched by her beauty and her distress, the New Englander finally arranges with her stern and inscrutable father, to marry and take her away.

And so, with a Chinese bride he returns to Massachusetts where things have been in the meantime ironed out imong the elders and where the lovely girl he loves and who loves him, awaits his coming.
