Horton Has Played 'Henry' 2,000 Times By ROBERT DAVIES of the telephone book and If Edward Everett Horton answers to the name "Henry," it's not because he's suddenly lost his mind, but, rather, after playing the title role in "Springtime For Henry" 2,000 times, he has become rather accustomed to that name. Upon completion of "His French Wife," which he is currently starring in at the Summer Theatre in Bradford, Mr. Horton will take that show to Boston for a short engagement there.

After that, he may revive "Henry" for a six-weeks tour jof New England.

The play seemed to suit Mr. iorton's special talents so Mr.

From that time on it was Horton and "Henry." STILL PLAYS TENNIS When not at the theatre Mr. Sorton relaxes by playing handball and tennis, and when he thinks of tennis, the name Cook fives him a chuckle.

If "Henry" and Horton get together this fall and they probably will for the comedian is fond of the play, then theatre- goers will see one of the most talented performers of the stage in a role suitable to'such talent.
