FLORENCE REED IN "THOR-
OUGHBRED" AT FoRD's The
ATRE, BALTIMORE

Interest in Florence Reeds brief
starring season with the Charles
Emerson Cook Players has reached a
high pitch-and her return to Fords
Theatre, Baltimore, next week, be-
ginning Monday night, May 9TH, in
Thoroughbred" is anticipated with
pleasure by thousands of admirers of
this dynamic and versatile comedi-
enne, who is undoubtedly Balti-
more's favorite star. Miss Reed
has just finished picture for Para
mount and is scheduled to star in
other screen productions. So Mr.
Cook feels that he and Baltimore are
fortunate in securing return visit
from her.
Thoroughbred" when it was pre-
scented earlier in the season, was ac-
claimed the outstanding hit of the
local theatrical year. The hearty,
sustained laughter and enthusiasm
it aroused was reminiscent of the
theatre in it's heydey; it serves to re-
establish theatregoing as festive
occasion.
Thoroughbred concerns horses,
the winning of the Futurity and the
financial and domestic complications
of the tervails-foremost among
the -blooded horsey set on Long
Island. Miss Reed, as Petite, is a
hearty believer in getting the full
Joy and excitement out of each pass
ing moment-and she thinks the
breeding of horses and humans is
the most important thing in life.
Thoroughbred" is the most hilar-
ious racing comedy ever presented
bit Rabelasian and daring, but al
ways enjoyable.
This laugh-hit will also serve to
introduce Miss Betty Hanna in a
leading role in Miss Reeds support.
Harry Ellerbe, Lawrence Heating,
Evelyn Warden, Calvin Thomas,
Rosamund Merivale, Helen Pitt and
Jack Storey will also add to the fun
Addison Pitt, whose results have
been praised as equal to any of the
finest Broadway productions, is
again in charge of stage direction,
and c. Russell Senior will create
the stage settings.
Following Thoroughbred" Miss
Reed will remain as the star of Her
Masters Voice." which is the big
laugh-hit of the current Broadway
season, now playing to the full ca
pacity of the Plymouth Theatre in
New York.

how the former NRA czar was
