...HENRY, SWEET HENRY lured theatergoers into picking up $400,000 worth of tickets in advance of its opening. These venture-capitalists have a dismally disenchanting evening in store for them. The musical concerns itself with a pair of schoolgirls who spend off-hours spying on a concert-stage idol (Don Ameche).

The high-volume static of a noisy audience destroys whatever atmosphere Gary's voice might have created...
...this fall. The Bisons have lost to two teams Harvard has beaten and to a third the Crimson plays today. Another similar situation will be set up this afternoon when Penn downs Bucknell, 27-14. If Harvard ends the season beating four Bison tamers, more than revenge will be sweet...
