STRAND THEATRE.
The fine programme at the Strand is well above the average. ; The first picture is "Westward Ho," adapted from the famous story, by Charles Kingsley. The, settings of the story are true, to the style and atmosphere of the Elizabethan period and the time when the sea .dogs of England were, the national heroes of ■ the country, ' when it was every schoolboy's, ambition to go to the Spanish Main and fight for Old '■' England. The. story; tells how. Amyas Leigh went to sea with John Oxenham' to hunt the Spaniard. Amyas returned and found that the girl of his heart had fled to Spain with Don Guzman, and, swearing\revenge, Amyas .went off.'to find her. ' Then came the great chance with the coming of the battle between England and Spain;1 the rout of the Spaniard, arid the great storm. Another pleasing picture is "Scrambled Wives," a snappy comedy-drama starring Marguerite Clark. The supporting items jare, all of high ' character. . . ,The Snboky comedy, "Ladies' Pets," shows this animal in many funny situations. .The latest Pathe gazette and an exciting episode of "The Lure of the Circus" completes the bill] ■■,•..'■
