Lolo

Lolo is a mind reader. With her eyes completely shut, she guesses correct figures and addresses of the audience with “amazing rapidity”. She finishes with a shooting exhibition “that is short of marvelous.”

Powers

Powers’ routine is largely similar to a Dr. Pauline’s. The act was twenty-five minutes long.

The Mystic Pool

The original idea of the act was prob- ably some such effect as is secured in the New York Hippodrome water scene, where the nymphs rise directly from the water, but the germ has been so cumbered and clouded by a surplusage of incidentals that ever were the mechanical arrangements carried out properly, it would lose much of its force. Indeed, the water nymph in “The Mystic Pool” does not seem to arise from the water, but rather appears to come into the tank from the side under cover of an arrangement of foliage.

The Enchanted Head

A cabinet is placed centre stage with the opening framed in naked electric lights to conceal the inner workings, and the interior is hung in the usual funeral black.
