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.
