On at 7.51, 10 min, in 2; special set. Curtain rises upon a dark stage, the lights go up slowly, showing Paganini’s Ghost standing apparently in front of the doorway of an old church or castle. “The Ghost” plays three selections upon the violin, the last two with piano accompaniment, and plays them remarkably well. IN fact, he is in my opinion the equal of any violinist I have heard in vaudeville. As the third selection draws to a close, the lights die down and at the finish the curtain falls upon an absolutely dark stage, making a very effective ending. I consider this an excellent high-class musical novelty, and think it worthy of booking at the money we are paying, $125. Would have given him a much better spot on the bill, had it been possible.
