The Strand provides another bill
Of stellar caliber from opening to
closing number this week. the first

with an unusually large and appre-
ciative audience in attendance Two
acts stand out above the others.
however. and both of them are
worthy of a headline position on
any program.
The first of these il the TripoIi
Trio, Offering "A Venetian Sere-
made" with vocal and Instrumental
selections, this number is reaI
treat for all lovers of good singing
with string accompaniment. The act
is beautifully staged, all Of the prin-
cipals have excellent voices, and the
result is SO pleasing that encore
after encore had to be given before
they were allowed to retire. The
second number. really an added at
traction. is the Three Wilson Girls
in what is termed "A Rose Bower
of Songs and Dances" We could
not locate exactly where the rose
bower" part of the title comes in,
but when IL comes to the songs and
dances, particularly the latter. mat
is another matter, as all three can
certainly sing and are a trio Of the
most graceful toe dancers seen here
this season. Numerous changes OF
costumes are made, and all in all
the Misses Wilson are worth going
long way to see. Don't miss see
ing them.
The Gabby Brothers. Tom and Joe,
known as The Boys with the Toys"
open the bill with a unique and de-
cidedly different juggling act, ac-
companied by a line of chatter that
made them favorites from the start
and earned well-deserved applause.
Others appearing include Billy NC
Dermott and Blanche Vincent in
Songs, Smiles and PianoIogue," en-
titled BE Yourself" and York and
MaybelIe in That's Too Bad" This
latter pair, when il comes to Great
! ing laughs, being in a class by
themselves. Mr.. York's work, which
is along the lines of that made fa-
nous by Leon Earle, being especial
ly good. and thereby making him
one OF the decided hits of the bill.
In "Bucking the Tiger" the Selz-
nick picture which is offered as the
photodramatic attraction for the
week. Conway Tearle has a role
which is particularly suited to his

without ranting all over the place
this star can convey to his audience
the most poignant suffering and an
guish with the elevation of an eye
brow, a droop of the shoulder eN-
presses deeper detection than is
registered by less ingenious players
thN-ugh painful contortions. and hi,
love making seems real and sincere.
The scene of the story is laid IN
the Klondike where six representa-
tives of the s"Down and Out Club
bring about a meeting Of East and
West. An attempted suicide gives
one member of the club a valuable
get-rick quick idea. He proposes
that a syndicate be formed to insure
the life OF a selected victim. The
lot falls to Mcdonald. played by Mr.,
TearIe, and everything is ready for
him to carry out his vow when the
one thing which could release him
happens.
The production has been perfectly
staged and an excellent cast is seen
in support of the star.
An interesting and amusing pro-
gram Of short features is shown In
conjunction with the main attrac-
ton, which, together with special
orchestral numbers arranged by Ar
thur j. Maxwell. including as over
ture Van Alstyne's Some Little
Bird" and as exit march Conrad s
Mimi" go to complete thoroughly
enjoyable performance.
