BILL AT STRAND GOOD
CONSIDERING HANDICAPS

/. After much trouble and many DIM
cuities, the Strand reopened last night
az a popular price vaudeville and Pic
ture house. II Is due chiefly to tae
efforts Of Manager WEIGH that the
house opened at all last night. as 1t
was only decided late Saturday night
to discontinue the musical comedies
on account OF the poor showing made
last week by the performing CONF
pany, and to present vaudeville and
pictures TO the Richmond public Az
il Is. the star act, which embraces q
cast OF seven people, has failed to
appear, due 10 unavoidable causes.
although II may show up today.
Considering these handicAps. the
opening bill at the Strand was very
good. After two funny comedies OF
the screen. the first act opened with
two women trapexe artists and aero
bats. While their work was not spec
tacular, they won generous applause
from ne audience.
An Italian character man comprises
the second act. and his singing and
monoiogue was fairly good. This Il
the weakest act In the whole bill.
An athlete and his dog Nix fol-
lowed. Several clever tricks perform.
ed BY the dog and an exhibition Of
strength and agility on the trapexe
pleased the audience, and Ulae act was
applaudcd freely.
The closing act was the hit OF the
evening. A city chap and country
girl kept the audience roaring with
their original chatter and aIltics. and
they were continually applauded.
