COME OUT OF THE KITCHEN

   Opening on 23 October 1916 at the George M. Cohan Theatre, the comedy by A. E. Thomas, based upon the serial story published in Harper's Bazaar (1915) by Alice Duer Miller, ran for 224 performances, was made into a 1924 musical (7he Magnolia Lady), and was made into a 1930 Paramount picture, Honey. The New York Times (24 October 1916) review headlined it as a "polite and amusing farce (with tears)." Henry Miller directed, and Ruth Chatterton played the Virginia lady who pretends to be the hired cook when the family home is rented to a wealthy Yankee.
