philosepher, all in one interesting, laugh provoking, master of magic. Durno ranks with Hermann
and Kellar, and is the greatest Magician now before the public. Every laugh contains a guess, ev

has missed a date up-to-date. Mr. Durno is assisted by a company of fun-makers who are " not less
interesting than he. They carry their own scenery, which is not the least among the attractions of
performance. In connection with his wizardry he uses language,' isparkling wiih champagne words
of wit and wisdom, interesting, alike to children and grown-ujgs:;
