Melville Ellis and Irene Bordoni

Location:
Theater:
Date:
25 minutes f.s. Special cyclorama. Their stage setting is beautiful, after a Maxfield Parrish painting, and Miss Bordoni wore gowns. She sang three songs, interspersed with piano solos by Ellis. Went very big indeed. Ellis is doing a curtain speech that is rather well turned, and has some clever quips that brought laughs.
