SE Nl QR PL A7 The Senior Class presented, 'The Improper Henry Propper , Friday night, April 22, 19149 On the day of her wedding to an impoverished Euro- pean prince, Billie Vandercoff, an American heiress, elopes with her family chauffeur, Henry, his name is-- Henry Propper--but to B1ll1e's domineering mother he's far from that! She and the Prince overtake the eloping pair in a Florida hotel--just in time to prevent their marriage by a local justice of the peace. Taking pos- session of her daughter, Mrs. Vandercoff bars Henry from his own honeymoon suite, and makes plans to marry Billie and the Prince right then and there. With the aid of his best friend, Sid, Henry tires to save Billie from the impending ceremony, and to get in to talk to her, he masquerades as a colored maid. In the meantime, Sid's wife, Dora, and her wisecracking sister, Bonnie, believing Sid is the one eloping, have followed him to the hotel. Henry tells Billie to go through with the ceremony with the Prince,that he has bribed the Justice of the Peace to read his name instead of the Pr1nce's, and from his disguise as a chambermaid, Henry will call out 'I do.n As he has a license, they will be married right in front of her mother's eyes. The plan seems ideal, after many lively mix-ups, Henry finds himself married all right, but married to Mrs. Vandercoff. She is just as thunderstruck as he is,for by marrying again she loses control of her fortune. However, all's well in the end,as the last ceremony unites the right couple and the widow's fortune is partially restored.
