Card Text (transcribed from postcard)
The 'Bijou Family Theatre' and 'The Orpheum' offer an attractive and novel electrical illumination display, and the popularity of their amusement features is attested by the crowds that thong their doors whenever they are opened to the public. The two play-houses occupy a portion of the old Swan Tavern, one of the most celebrated hostelries of the Richmond of by-gone days.
