“Mene Tekel” or the Mystic Ball. 11 min. This act is a novelty and I feel sure that it has drawn us a little money. A sheet of blank paper is suspended from the stage and while swinging to and fro a small ball is placed upon its surface. Travelling across the surface it writes words that are suggested in a whisper by people in the audience to Mr. Konorah. Both Mr. and Mrs. Konorah are clever people and get more out of the act than many others would.
