Harris, Jr. wrote many radio scripts and stage plays. SOURCE: Daily Reflector Nov 13, 1945 Great Honor for Greenville Author Edward Harris, native of Greenville is the author of a play to be produced on Broadway soon. The comedy, "Forgotten Lady" is to go into rehearsal the first of December and will open in New York the middle of January, under the sponsorship of Edith Gordon, with Elsie Ferguson as star. Based on some anedotes about the late Mrs. Patrick Campbell the story according to the author happens to parallel the life of Elsie Ferguson herself. Star of silent piectures famous on Broadway, voted by the artists of America the most beautiful woman in the country, Miss Ferguson had to retire from the theatre some years ago because of illness. However in 1943 she returned to the stage and achieved a great personal triumph in a play that did not succeed, "Outrageous Fortune". Mr. Harris at that timesubmitted "Forgotten Lady" to her. She was immediately enthusiastic about it and announced her wish to appear in the title role. Edith Gordon acquired the manuscript last spring. In September Mr. Harris went from his home at Atlantic Beach to New Yorkconferred with Miss Gordon and Miss Ferguson about the final revision but came back to North Carolina for the actual work. Star and producer have heartily approved this latest version. Miss Gordon is now copleting her organization and negotiating for the lease of a theatre. The author is taking advantage of this interval for a visit to his mother, Mrs. G. Harris of 635 Contanche Street. He intends to remain in Greenville until the casting of "Forgotten Lady" begins.
