Singing.
Chilson-Ohrman, when she appeared here recently, was criticized a bit because she had neither a piano or pianist. This time she compromised by using a baby grand piano, but it was there only for atmosphere. This singer has completely lost her concert mannerisms, and has acquired a great deal of showmanship, which she makes good use of. She makes as effective use of the side of the proscenium as did Harry Cooper in the old days of the Empire City Quartet. Now if she will only get somebody to play the atmosphere piano and wear two or three wonderful gowns instead of the one wonderful gown she wears now she will make a good act a better one.
