Seymour Weiss and Nat Moss. =.
Incidentally, a peculiar strike was
staged at the Paradise Tuesday
night. Because of some vague
grievances, the tall, stately show
girls stalk out this evening, with

a splendid dramatic actress. And
Rachel Carlay, alluring in the
French manner-and certainly
possessed of one of the richest
