ANOTHER WHIRL:
OF COMEDY AT
THE STRAND

Irwin Hamp and his associate
players are, furnishing a splendid
program Of music and comedy at
the Strand Theater this week.
Opening the week to two capacity
audiences yesterday, this clever
gathering Of performers was seen
In the most ambitious offering Of
their run at this theater.
The comedy seems to be a bit
better this week. Hamp has gath.
cred to himself a bunch of spark.
ling material and he leads his fell
low comedians in q bunch Of
whirlwind nonsense that proves
responsible for many laughs.
The girls find an outlet for their
talents in bright musical and
dance numbers. The vocal melo-
dies are well rendered by Misses
Starke, La Monte and Bowers.
Those clever chaps, Lew Lewis
and Fred Groot drift in here and
there with enjoyable contributions.
The screen portion Of the bill
is devoted to a comedy, entitled
The Gay DeceiveE," starring Lew
Cody and Marcelline Day, an In.
teresting news release and a short
comedy. Arthur Manville's Or.
chestra can be credited for some
agreeable music.-H. s.
