STRAND

“THE SPY” ’"The Spy,” a sensational story of International espionage, vividly intermingled with train smashes, murder, bombs, and an intriguing love story, is still the chief attraction at the Strand Theatre. The story is of an underground spy organisation which, seeking power, pits its energies against the Secret Service. In one of the world’s greatest cities events were happening with nerveshattering rapidity, throwing the Government and its Secret Service into a state of chaotic helplessness. Imports ant documents, entrusted to responsible Ministers, were either stolen or copied. Secret Service agents mysteriously disappeared and there was evidence that some were murdered. Crimes of all kind, executed with daring and masterly cunning, were committed frequently, and when the perpetrators were discovered and arrested they went to punishment, sometimes to death, in silence, rather than betray the master brain at the head of the organisation for which they worked. It is with the suppression of this organisation that the picture is concerned. The entertainment at the Strand also includes a comedy, and a gazette with the latest world happenings, the whole accompanied by the Strand Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Eve Bentley.
