Nick Long and Idalene Cotton
in "Prince of PilSen"
Are Clever.
MoNG the principal characters of

~ the cast Of 1.-THE Prince of Pill
IN sen" at the Columbia are Nick
Il In Long. who plays the part of
Francois, concierge of the Hotel
Internationale at Nice, France. and his
talented wife. Idalene Cotton. who plays
the role of Sidonie, the French maid.
Their portrayal is so characteristically
Partisan in accent and temperamental ac-
ton that audiences are often decoyed
into the conclusion that these are truly
Partisan artists who have been brought
over especially for the parts. Such con-
clusion is far from being correct.
Nick Long is a native Of San Francisco
and has seen long service with some of
the greatest stars and attractions that
this country has ever had. Idalene Cot
ton, who is the personifcation Of Paris
ian maid and who struggles so with the
English language" on the stage, Is glib
enough in her Yankee speech off the
stage. She is a daughter of BeK Cotton,
once the most famous minstrel Of his
time. She was also born in San Fran
cisco.
The pair are celebrated in French char
acter parts especially and their work is
the cleverest in the line that can be found
in this country
