THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
BY The Charles Emerson Cook Play.
ers, Ford's Theatre, Baltimore


1.-THE Pursuit of Happiness" one
of the current Broadway hits, which
after seven months Is still running
to the full capacity of the Avon
Theatre in New York, will be pre-
scented at Ford's Theatre, Baltimore,
by Charles Emerson Cook beginning
Monday night. This lusty comedy
Of love among the Connecticut Yam
KEGS of Revolutionary times is said
to fairly set audiences 10 rocking
with laughter.
"The Pursuit of Happienss" has
come to be known as the "Bundling
laugh hit" and its authors, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawrence Langner, want it
known that they had made serious
study of this quaint Colonial Gus
tom, which permitted lass and her
admirer to pursue their oulting in
bed, fully clothed, of course. The
Langners point out that this custom
at one time fourished in England
and Wales as we'll as in America.
That simple, primitive people act
ually carried on their love affairs in
bed, and that they were carried on
honorably will astonish more polish
ed lovers. Although it certainly
seemed dangerous mode of max
ing love, there were SO few abuses of
it that it must be concluded that it
was as innocent method of court
ing as any other. ''The most decent
and well-behaved women went into
1t without blush" Quoting Stiles,
accredited the best authority on
"bundling") proving that what is
pure in idea is always so in con-
duct"
The story of 1.-THE Pursuit of Hap
piness" concerns Max Christmann
(played by Harry Ellerbe,) very
charming young Hessian soldier who
deserts the British army in favor of
the American, because he prefers to
fight for life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness" His pursuit of
happiness is soon concentrated in his
wooing young Mistress Prudence
Kirkland (played by Lee Patrick.)
The young Hessian's literal accept
ance of the Declaration of INDIE
pendence gives rise to many comical
complications.
Following 1.-THE Pursuit of Happi-
ness" Managing Director Charles
Emerson Cook will present another
Broadway success, Wednesdays
Child" with that remarkable H.
year-old boy actor, Frank Thomas,
Jr., in his original Broadway role.
Matinees will be given Wednesday
and Saturday.
