THE MAGICIAN
T
In the ordinary walks of life t'.n-re
la enough of gloom that we t an i'w*.
ahun, so there Is every reason lef
people to wish to seek wholesome
entertainment where they can hare
a real hearty laugh and enjoy them
aelves
Thla la what awalta those who an
ticipate sttendlng the performance
of Durno at the school auditorium
on November 14th. Under the cap
tion of a "White Houae of Magic"
there will be aa much fun as mys
tery. It will be something thst will
entertain the old and the yoking and
aomething to keep you guessin* for
some time afterwarda. It Is wonder
ful how Durno can make things dis
appear and how he can bring forth
large quantities of real water seem
ingly from nothing.
His exhibltlona of optical allus
lona and metamorphsae are equally
as myaterioua. and the Durno allces
In auch freah hits of hnmor ~thst
cauaea a relaxation from the aerloua
of some of hla acta.
There Is lightness and wonder,
happiness any m;stery, science and
play all mingled so Intricately that
it is impoealble to untangle them.
There will alao be humoroua mon
ologues. songs, imitations by other
members of the company, and thero
will be a marvelous exhibition of ven
trlloqulam by Durno himself.
This Is something thst csnnot be
missed and It la one of the beet en
tertainments booked for Waahlngtap
during this wtnter.
Still, at its new price, radium,
will hsrdly be a substitute for ooal.
Fur Specials
For the next few days we will
give special prices on Furs either in
? I
sets or single pieces.
Don't fail to see them.
