Started his work here by performing his usual jail breaking feat under the auspices of Capt. Of Detectives Donaghy and in the presence of a hundred officials, magistrates, members of the press and etc. The feat was successfully performed, and was highly commended by everybody. It was a good introduction to opening here to-day, and he received strong advance applause. His stage presence is all that could be desired, and has a frank way of addressing the audience that stamps him a man that can do things. The handcuffs that the citizens brought on the stage, he managed to certificate himself from with very little difficulty. Each one of his feats was liberally applauded, and the chest act, wherein he changes places with his wife in a locked trunk get a big hand. Houdini’s work is absolutely unique and strong. There is no doubt about his drawing ability here, and he will be booked to the limit. 22 mins. Pal. In 4.
