Plans are being drawn for a theatre

It's promoters expect to erect on a
site on the north side of Broad street
a short distance west OF Brook ave-

some weeks ago, has a frontage of sc

Ideally located for the purpose for
which it Is intended.
The plans contemplate a building
adapted to vaudeville and moving
picture shows. with a couple of stores

FROM an authoritative source, IL Is

erected on the northwest corner OF
Broad and Third streets, after all.
Foundation for such a building has
been dug, 1t Is true. but ii appears
that the syndicate behind this enter
prise has become somewhat shy at
theatrical ventures as a result OF the
recent conflict between the trust and
Independents in Richmond 1t Is
stated that in the event a theatre for
vaudeville and similar purposes Is not
erected on this site. four-story brick

plans for such a store are now being
drawn.

In case q store is erected, 1t is
understood that 1t will be occupied
by one Of the leading shoe merchants
of Broad street. who has great conn.,
denee in the future OF the north side
OF Broad. This merchant believes
that the contemplated city improve
ments along Broad will tend to attract
trade to the north side. and he be-
lieves. further, that big shoe store
on that side of the street, II run in an
up-to-date manner. could be made a
very profitable investment.

VALUABLE LIVE STOCK
STOLEN FRIDAY NIGHT
Bars to Pasture Are Found Down
and Holstein Cow and Calf
Missing.

The county authorities are looking
for a valuable holstein cow and year
ling calf, that are supposed to have
been stolen Friday night from the pas
ture of Mr.. John Mosby, who lives on
the New Market Road about four miles
from Richmond.
MIR. Mosby did not report his loss to
the authorities until Monday morning
as he believed that the animals might
have escaped from the pasture and
wandered off. The fact that the bar
to the pasture was removed. however.
and the obsence OF signs of wandering
animals, such as broken vegetation and
clipped off corn-tops, brought him to
the conclusion that thieves had led his
animals away.
The county police are making an in
vestigation and hope 10 find the COW
and calf at some of the stock yards
where the thieves may have taken
them for sale.
