Melville Ellis and Irene Bordoni

Type:
25 minutes fs. Special cyclorama. The audience got a bit restless during Ellis’ piano playing last night, and some were inclined to “kid” him. Miss Bordoni’s solos were applauded, particularly her French song. This team pull about as raw an exhibition of song-plugging for an encore in one, as we have had in many a day.
