With that genial star, Victor McLaglen, in the role of chief fun- maker, there is little to want for in the way of complete enjoyment. “Strong Boy” is the story of a big, good-natured baggage smasher, whose lack of ambition nearly costs him the love of the girl. Her meth- ods of generating the spark of “get- up” in him provide situations which ure guaranteed to bring laughter to the most blase. The vaudeville show has five acts and presents The Graduates, an en- semble of songs and dances cleverly done by a cast of eight youthful misses; Toster and Paggy in a sur- prise offering what was well liked yesterday; Padden Edwards Co. in “Leave it to Ruth,” a miniature musical comedy; Maxon and Co. in “Fun On a Baby Grand;” and Free- man and Seymour in “The Unhap- piness Boys. Beginning Sunday for four days the Strand will offer Lois Moran and Edmund Lowe in *Making the Grade.” COLUMBUS MAN 70 SUCCEED TRINDER Bowman Appointed Director of State Trade Education Hariford, March (®)—Ernest Levern Bowman of Columbus, O. has been appointed director of the division of trade and vocational ed ucation by the state board of edu- | cation J.
