Electrical marvel. 25 min. F.S. close in 1. 2 shows. On at 8:00. As a novelty this act is certainly interesting, being quite out of the line of Vaudeville attractions. He makes a good presentation on the stage, and his feats are certainly spectacular and apparently on the level. He lights gas with the tip of his tongue, sets fire to handkerchiefs from the soles of his feet and ends of his hair, and otherwise shows perfect immunity from electrical voltage. The closing part of the work in F.S. includes a mimic banquet at which the sparks are flying in all directions and the participants, from the audience, furnish a lot of amusement to the crowd. Short close in 1 consists of welding iron under water with the naked hand. On the whole the act pleased the audience and brought strong applause. Volta will undoubtedly be talked about a great deal this week and should bring some new recruits to the house.
