He appeared in "Mixed Marriages," "Twelve Hundred a Year," "Dear Brutus," "The Truth About Blayds," and "The Red Robe." As Falstaff in "Henry The Fourth" he shared starring honors with Basil Sidney, the eminent British Shakespearean actor, who was the Guest Artist for that production. More recently Mr. Otis played a peddlerof most romatic tendencies~in the "Romantic Age."
