AT THE ' oTH EATERS "Billeted" at the Brandeis, Mm Anglln and company in "Billeted," a comedy In three act, by F. Tennyson Jesse and H. M. Harwood. The player: Rose ... , ....Margaret Hoffman Emmallne Llptrott Sally Williams Reverend Ambrose Liptrott . , Roland Rushton Penelope Moon.. Phyllis Blrkett , Batty Taradinef.- V Miss Anglin Colonel Preedy Langdon Bruce Captain Rymlll Vred Eric Cook Myra Burrington Mr. MacFarlane. jn Ralph Kemmet Margaret Anglin's adventures with mislaid husbands, fictitious sweet hearts and the like have been Oc- i tended by one in "Billeted," which is as good fun as any she has ever lived , through to the pleasure of those who . preicr to see ner iu lumcuy. j.u she has to combat a village shrew, a group of tradesmen and a bcotch " banker, fence with a serious minded bachelor colonel and an equally well I meanine clergyman, and for two acts ; stand off a vagrant but repentant husband, who turns up as tne colonel's adjutant just as the hostess in lier desperation has announced his death. The material is scanty enough,' but its treatment is light and dextrous, and when the curtain does . go down on an ending all can foresee, the feeling s the , evening has not been spent in vain. The war is kept in . the background, serving only to support the process by which the loving hearts were reunited. Miss Anglin finds in Betty Tara dine's perplexities opportunity for the employment of her real talent for comedy. From her encounter with the vicar's vinegary sister in the open ing act until she finally surrenders to her husband in the last, she is on the defensive, guarding herself from importunate creditors on the one side and high-minded suitors on the other, staving off disaster, until the climax is brought by. the heartless lighting company' cutting off her supply of electricity. She presents a piquant mixture of sanity and frivolity, one of her answers to the, inquisitive female pest serving as the keynote. When accused, of. sleeping under the same roof with a bachelor colonel, she an swers, "Yes, but not under the same ceiling 1" Langdon Bruce makes the sober minded Coloned Preedy a joy; not a ' prig, nor the usual form of stage En glishman, but a regular human being, anxious to do the right thing and save others, even at the sacrifice of him self. And Fred Eric is immense in the role of the husband who reaches ' the manor house just in time to hear his own death announced by his wife. He has sobered down, but not enough to prevent his getting a little fun out of the serious situation. Phyllis Bir- kett, who is new to us, is capital as the disingenuous companion, is bent on catching a soldier for herself and whose quest ends in conquest. Mr. Kemmet's Scotchman would delight Sir James Matthew Barrie, and Mr. Rushton'a vicar and Miss Williams' shrew are; exceedingly well drawn. The play was given a cordial greet ing last night at the Brandeis. Miss Anglin assisted in presenting the Red Cross cause, by reciting after the sec ond act, "On the Fields of Flanders," a short poem by Lieutenant MacRea of the Canadian forces. A collection was taken up. Engagement lasts out the week-end, with a matinee on Sat- ." urday, , - : Promises of the press Aents. Ornheum For busiaess purposes the' ex- tension at the season for an extra week over at the Orpheum was epportune. The cdol weather a proving an incentive for seeing the last vaudeville bill of ths sea son at the ' Orpheum. The program em braces the principle components of modern . vaudeville In pleasing Quantities.
