At the Strand.

The Strand has a very strong show for Friday and Saturday which has played to capacity business. The Strand is featuring Sweet Sixteen in a miniature musical comedy. This act consists of six beautiful girls with beautiful costumes, with two of the funniest comedians on the vaudeville stage. This act draws the crowds and be sure to come early. Only a limited number are allowed to stand. Be sure of a seat. Tabor and McGowan are also there with side splitting talk ing and singing act. John F. Clark, the vaudeville poet and story teller, will make his appearance at the Strand. Do not be offended. For the. special feature picture the Strand is showing Marguerite Marsh in The Phantom Honeymoon. There are many brilliant scenes and many gorgeous gowns that go to make The Phantom Honeymoon one of the most remark able productions of the day. It is richly deserving of packed houses at every performance, and judging from the many favorable comments of last night. it is easy to believe this pie ture will play to overflow business during the week at the Strand. A Kinogram Weekly closes this fine show. A big show is arranged for Sunday. The feature picture will be of an all star cast including Anita Stewart and Earle Williams. A big First National Special D. W. Grifith production. The Greater Question, will be shown Monday Tuesday and "Wednesday at the Strand.

Meanwhile District Attorney Love is
