Nell Forbes Undaunted by Riding Accident
ACTRESS LOVES HORSES
Atlanta Girl Names Equine
Friends After Noted Stage
Celebrities.
Although seriously injured while rid
ing in Grant park two years ago this <
Christmas. Miss Nell Forbes, the At- f
lanta girl actress, reader and imper
sonator, still is passionately fond of
horses. She has two beautiful colts
which a New York friend gave her, and
she never misses an opportunity for a
romp with them.
One of the little horses she calls
"Marguerite,” after Marguerite Sylva,
and the other “Gertrude,” after Ger
trude Elliott, Mrs. Forbes-Robertson.
The colts were taken by Miss Forbes
to the farm of “Billy” Muldoon at
White Plains, N. Y., this summer and
played a large part in bringing her back
to robust health.
Miss Sylva and Miss Elliott, friends
of Miss Forbes, were also at Muldoon’s
for treatment, and the three were much
together.
Miss Forbes was thrown by a spirit
ed horse at Grant park. The animal
fell on her and injured her so badly
that she was long in a hospital. Since
then she has not been strong enough
for regular stage engagements and has
performed only in sketches and con
cert work.
