Melville Ellis & Irene Bordoni

Location:
Theater:
Date:
25 min. These musical comedy stars have an excellent program of music and song numbers. Miss Bordoni also attracted a great deal of attention with her wonderful gowns. At the finish of a big round of applause in answer to repeated encores, Mr. Ellis made a curtain speech that was one of the best features of the act. Although handicapped by working with the first show without their scenery, which failed to arrive, they were given a very pretty house set and registered and emphatic hit.
