I Russell Janney Announces OTIS SKINNER —IN— "SANCHO PANZA" Melchoir Lengyel's Merry Spectacular Comedy Based on Cervante's Immortal Story, "Don Quixote.;" Mr. Skinner's Bjggest Production Since "Kismet." —Week of Feb.. 25— "ONE KISS" The new Clare Kummer Comedy With Music. OTIS SKINNER IN "SANCHO PANZA" AT FORD'S. "Sancho Panza," in which Otis Skinner will appear at Ford's Theatre, the week of February 18th, is a big spectacular production in which comedy predominates. Melchoir Lengyel, the well-known Hungarian playwright, is the author. He has based his play on certain episodes in Cervante's immortal story, "Don Quixote" which relate the adventures of Don's peasant squire, "Sancho Panza" when he is suddenly transferred to the throne of Barataria. Sancho insists on sharing his new found splendor with Dapple, his little gray donkey; court etiquette perplexes him; false cortiers seek to betray him; but in the end he foils their attempts and wins the hearts and approval of his subjects. As a background for Mr. Skinner's magnificent charac-* terization of the humorous, picturesque Sancho, Russel Janney, the producer has made an elaborate production of the golden age of Spain. Special music has been composed by Hugo Felix, who wrote "Madame Sherry," "Pom Pom" and "Marjolaine." The dances were arranged by Bert French of "The Music Box Revue." Costumes and scenery were designed by James Reynolds of Ziegfeld's "Follies."' ------------------o------------------¦ MARYLAND PRESENTS A GOOD BILL AS USUAL. Brret Hart delights in writing of the cunningness of the Oriental. Mrr. Hart has lived to see the workings of those Orientals who have adapted theirr ingenuity to the theatre and probably there will be many additional magicians to his contribution to literature. The most dexterous jugglers, magicians and equilibrists came from the Far East, and one of the "best troupes of this sort is the Kikutas Japs. A company of eight—six men - and two girls, who have just scored an emphatic hit at B. F. Keith's Hippodrome. The Kir kutas Japs are described as Oriental Wonder Workers. They are all of that. Their versatility is almost unbelievable; their dexterity is an art and their presentation is a picture. After an absence of several years Bird Millman has returned to vaudeville. A part where she was featured above everything else under the big top, id the rest of the time was spent with Ziegfeid's Follies and the Greenwich Village Follies. Miss Milliman and her silver wire have been given, many titles and she has been called the Fairy on the Cobweb and the Little Queen of the Wire. The latter is the most appropriate. She is absolutely unexcelled as a wire-ist, but the important port is not her skill, but the grace and picturesqueness with which she performs her feats. Miss Milliman is undoubtedly preeminent in her line. Charles King is of the theater—not of any particular branch, and so he is as well liked in musical comedy as in vaudeville and is found practically in both places. A few seasons he has been a featured comedian with George M. Cohan's "Little Nellie Kelly." In, fact he comes to vaudeville this time direct rom that piece. He has been in vaudeville with his sister, Mollie King, and Lila, Rhodes and by himself. It is quite evident that Mr. Cohan thinks a good deal of Mr. King's' ability, because much of his time upon the legitimate stage has been spent "in Mr. Cohan's company. Some engagements have been * with George V. Hobart's comedy with music, "Buddy." In vaudeville he sings a little, talks a little and dances a little. He calls this assortment of things a bit of musical comedy in a vaudeville way. LIONEL ATWILL AT AUDITORIUM. William Harris, Jr., presents Lionel Atwill in "The Outsider," a play from London, at the Auditorium, beginning next Monday. Mr. Atwill, seen here in "Deburau," "The Grand Duke" and mors^recent-ly in vaudeville, has a nH sort of role; while as colorful and romantic as the others-, the part is of a modern. "The Outsider" charmed London for a year and three companies of the play are still touring the British provinces. Dorothy Brandon, the author, is the writer of several novels and one-act plays. Mr. Harries has engaged to support Mr. Atwill a cast, of uniform excellence, including such well-known players as Lester Lonergan, Ann Davis, T. Wigney Percival, John Blair Whitford Kane, Pat Somerset, Ferdinanda Eliscu, Florence Edney, Kenneth Hunter. The rehearsals have been under the direction of Robert Milton. The sets have been designed by Livingston Piatt. The hallmark of William Harris, Jr., has come to mean an excellence of production. The list is-too long to enumerate but there has been "Abraham Lincoln," "Mary Stuart," "Robert E. Lee," "The Bad Man," "Bonco," "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife," and recently "Outward Bound," now one of the big hits of New York. This new play, while in a new field, promises something worth while. The story is of a girl who has been denied the usual run of life on account of an acci- Buy Your GROCERIES at CORBIN'S York Road Next to Engine House TOWSON, MD.

But they keep him outside. He seeks out the girl, offers her a complete cure. But she must have aith and come with him. The ollows the conflict between the girl and the outsider on one side ond the medical proession and her riends on the other.. Through it all is the skein of the ethics of doctors, and the will to follow the ego along its biological leadings. Lionel Atwill plays the part of the outsider. Ann Davis is the girl^a question. Lester Lonergan is the father of the girl. % STONE GRAVEL SAND | I E. F. MURRAY ?,? AH««any Ave. TOWSON.
