Can’t quite parse this:
The clue is :
This player’s her in orchestra, perhaps (5)
The answer must be ‘actor’ and I imagine it must be something to do with taking her out of orchestra which leaves the letters for actors, but I can’t see how this is indicated or what happens to the extra s?

This player'( s her) in orchestra
Deduct sher ?

Yes I could see that but why?

It's a synonym of player.

Actor + sher make up the word orchestra
Is all I can see

Sorry I did get that I just can’t see what indicates you should take sher away?

"Perhaps" could indicate anagram ?

(Antony ) Sher is the actor

Thank you!
