Manager Wells has presented only the
very best vaudeville acts that could be
secured, and he has managed the place
in such a manner that every one knows
that it is absolutely comfortable TO
spend an evening there. Mr.. Wells
HIS never once let up on his agents in
New York, or by personal effort in that
great city, on insisting that acts that
entertain at the best summer theatres
be sent here. The agents couldn't just
understand how he could afford to play
the big acts, but nevertheless carried out
instructions. The people of Richmond
did the rest They have most literally
patronized the popular theatre, and will
continue to do SO, for the shows will be
kept right up to the standard.
The bill this week is full of features
that have never been seen here before
and that promise to score great big hits
from the word go. They come direct
from the principal vaudeville theatres
of New York and the other great cities.
The headliners rank high in the profess
sion, the novelty acts are declared to
be very clever, and the comedy numbers
are billed as up, to the moment.

of Crimmins and Gore, an eccentric
comedy duo, who have played from the
Atlantic coast to the theatres Of Frisco,
and at the great play houses of Europe.

and Crimmins is a little fellow as funny
as the funniest. They will present

trio on the vaudeville stage. are joint
features with the headline act. They
promise to introduce new musical nov
elites and rich comedy This act too,
ranks high up in the profession, and

one. One of the trio is a gifted violinist,
and his limitations have been the feature
of many bills.
Amann and Hartly, one of the. most
popular comedy sketch duos seen at the
Bijou last season, are on the bill This
sketch is a clever one, both Miss Hartly,
who is a beautiful woman, and Mr.
Amann, who is a flrst-rate comedian, UNI

amusement. This number will be one
of the favorite acts

Der. She will sing new songs and help
to make the bill bright and pleasing.
