GRAND THEATER, HARTFORD The engagement of Peggy Mayo's “Red Hots,” which start today at the New Grand theater, should be hailed with delight by those fans who know good entertainment. There i3 magic in the name of Peggy Mayo who is starred with this extremely popular company which features Benny Platt, a sure- fire comedian. These exceedingly clever burlesquers are aided and abetted by such favorites as Billy Pitzer, Gordon Rydeen, Agnes Me- Cormack, Billy Gordon and other bright and shining players. “Red Hots" opens here direct from a most successful run and offers down. right fun in rapid order. Every de- partment should provide theatergo- ers in Hartford and surrounding towns with startingly original humor and beautitul girls in satisfying quantities, The production has been staged in a manner calculated to make one gasp with the sheer beau- ty of the plece and specialty num- bers by Banks and Burnham, a pair of hoofers who will endeavor to burn up the footboards and by Opal Taylor, a rare jewel indced, should be well received by discriminating fans who find their appetite jaded by the stereotyped form of enter- tainment usually found. Reserva- tions may be made by calling the box office after 11. Performances are at 2:15 and 8:15 daily.
