(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Floyd Cooper. Florrie's dad loves acting more than anything, but the Depression forces the closing of the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem. Eventually, he's able to return to the stage when, by decree of President Roosevelt, the Lafayette is reopened and Orson Welles casts his Haitian version of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Cooper's illustrations softly accent the engaging story. A historical note is appended. Bib.
