Harry Houdini

This week, the moving pictures showing Houdini’s jump from the Rochester bridge last week with wrists handcuffed are first seen, after which “The Jail Breaker” escapes from manacles and a “straight jacket” on the stage. This latter is difficult, and Mr. Houdini while working out of the confinement in view of the audience gives an exhibition of contortion as well.

Handcuff Queen

She is a well appearing girl with a spreading pompadour which comes out of the straight-jacket escape undisturbed.

Alcazar Beauties

The stage is set three times during his offering, but each time a drop is lowered in “one” and Crane works in that space while his apparatus is being arranged. No paraphernalia is moved except behind the lowered curtain.

Carl Hertz

Five years since he appeared in America. Nothing of what he does cannot be explained. He is not a fast operator. “Belchazar’s Blackboard” is suppose to be the star of the act. The Hindoo basket carries two women similar is dress. In “Aga” a woman rises from a rug on the floor. “The Bridal Chamber” is good for an average audience.
