LILLIAN RUSSELL
PICTURES COMING

| Lillian Russell is one of Richmond's
favorite actresses. She has been seen
here in nearly every one OF her pro-
auctions, and the older theatergoers
remember when she played jose
ph!ne" in "Pinafore," in the early
stages Of her success.
Her last appearance here was at
the Academy of Music in "Wildfire."
She made her usual HIT and those
she had associated with her were
equally as successful. and equally as
well received.
The play Is a farce, pure and SIM
pie. There are moments filled with
thrills and moments OF fun. Two OF
| the country's greatest humorists
wrote the play-George Broadhurst
and George v. Hobart. This should
be sufficient information to the pub
! lie, 80 that no matter whether Lillian
Russell or any one else appeared as
the star. there would be some enter
tainment. And with the beautiful
Lillian In the lead. there is an added
attraction.

will be seen in all its glory at the
