2 shows, 21 min. open in 1, close in 3 – This man is one of the cleverest card manipulators we have ever had here, almost equaling Thurston. Finishes with a trunk act, the box being a handsome piece of furniture and much the smallest ever used in public here. He has to fairly double himself up to get into it. It is locked, and then covered with canvas which is laced and then bound with cord. He gets out of it in about seven seconds. It is the sort of act that makes people talk, and was one of the best things in our bill this afternoon. At night, he is bound to make a big hit.
