Like Johnny Hamp's Kentucky Serenaders, this is apparently a Pennsylvania band that for unknown reasons chose to bill themselves as Kentuckians.
Henny Hendrickson's Louisville Serenaders were reportedly a territory band, one of the several combos that Hendrickson led in the general vicinity of the crux of the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware borders. Although totally forgotten today, they obviously were a well-trained orchestra.
Most personnel is unknown. According to sketchy online info, purportedly part of the lineup is: Henny Hendrickson (leader, clarinet, soprano and alto saxophone); Eddie Friebel (tenor saxophone); Lew Quadling (piano and arranger) and Ditter Haynes (banjo and guitar).
Can't find any images of Henny, so here's a photo of a 1927 Buick Model 28 Standard.

Seems like the idea of being from Louisville connoted a kind of Old South elegance. thanks fo r forwarding this, never heard of these guys.
