Club Swinging.
At this point he leaves the stage to put on a pair of iron -soled shoes and a short coat. The shoes have wires attached that run up his limbs and back, down through his coat sleeves, connecting with two prismatic clubs of beautiful design, each containing a 100-candle power bulb. He stands upon plates in the floor completing the circuit. Mr. Morgan works on a dark stage throughout, and his club stand is decorated with colored lights and revolves continually. This effect, together with the illuminated prismatic clubs, is most pleasing. He scored heavily here Tuesday evening.
