4 OLD FAVORITE IS STAR AT ORFHEUM EHta Proctor Otis Returns in Sketch Which She Enlivens With Her Personality • Ventriloquist A Has Something Novel to Offer With Amaz ing Vocal Stunts WALTER ANTHONY Class will tell. It proclaims itself without the aid of a press agent, and it needs no self praise to make itself known. You will pick Elita Proctor Otis out of the Orpheum bill as the star of this week's program without reflec tion or thought. You need not know that she was once a Baldwin theater favorite, playing prominent roles In company with the best; and you need not have ever heard about her before. She proves, her position as actress by her acting, not her biography. Even if you do not like her sketch, you will ad mire her acting in it, and she will show you how a lady may even play a tipsy^ role without vulgarity — a nearly im possible task, isn't it? According to the terms of the attenuated, slender, plot, ehe, as Mrs. Bun. acquires what her name suggests without knowing that. Fhe is imbibing a brand of booze, which, by the way, is rather obviously-adver tised in the dialogue. Mr. Bun likes "his nip." His prejudice in favor of many "nips." indeed, keeps him at the club and away from home much — too much — so Mrs. Bun undertakes to reform him. She buys a bargain bottle of "anti-bun" and reflects how fine it will be to cure him for 39 cents. The man ner in which real whisky is substituted in the decanter for its enemy, and the subterfuge b£ which it is brought about that Mrs. Bun drinks the real, instead of the "anti"' booze, are neither in genious nor likely, but they serve, and the rest of the sketch is given to Miss Otis to handle with deftness and humor. The ekit is worth little, but it is cer tainly good to see Miss Otis again. Marshall Montgomery, in ventrilo quism, has something novel to offer. His dialogue with his manikin is not Fprightly nor particularly interesting, but liis "stunts" are amazing. He eats and drinks and smokes while speaking for his "sailor boy," and his transitions from normal to abnormal vocalism are well covered. A whistling act closes the number. Montgomery walks slowly throujrh the audience whistling, while holding the doll in his arms, and blam ing it on him. The stunt Is very un usual. The juggling Xormans are above average in their line of club flinging, end Misss Anna Laushlin, the other member of the newcomers. Just "gets t>y" and uo more with her indifferent tinging and talking act. Lancton-Lucier company, in "A Fool's Errand"- I—a1 — a fool sketch — Gladys Lock wood and Paul MacCarthy, who are tiresome with their blase airs; and Gus Edwards' "Night Birds," that twitter pleasantly enough, are some of the hold over acts from last week's bill. Will M. Cressy and Blanche Dayne, the other retained ones from the previous pro gram, appear this week in "Town Hall Tonight." It is a sketch the scenes of which are laid in the Granite state, and its content is as fresh and pure and sparkling as the waters of one of New Hampshire's lakes.
