Card manipulator and trunk mystery. This man offers but two card tricks which though old are presented in a novel fashion, then goes into his trunk trick which so far as our audience is concerned is still a mystery and very cleverly done. Held the attention of the audience and kept them guessing. Good hand at the finish. Opens in 3 mins in 1. 8 mins in 3.
3 shows, 12 min. open full stage, close in one—This is a very good three-a-day act. His feats of illusion are very well done, especially his card work, and the finish with a canary, but he lacks personality.
Man and woman doing magic and tip spinning. Pretty good act. Full stage, closing in one.
AR 3. A magician, and a very good one. He does not do anything particularly new, but he is an exceptionally clever worker and entertained every moment he was on. 17 minutes, open full stage and close in one; could work entirely in one if necessary.

3 shows, opens in two, closes in one, 12 min.—Magic and instrumental specialties. He worked like an amateur, and we decided to close him, as we had plenty of show, and could do without his act without putting something else in.
HR 33. In an act of burlesque magic; the same turn that he has always given us and one that is always acceptable in an early part of the bill. 14 minutes, open full stage and close in one. Could do the whole act in it if necessary.
MGH 2. Mr. Rogers told me, however, that Miss Abbott went fully as strong as we expected. She kept the audience interested and entertained and mystified from the start to the finish. 27 minutes, full stage.
Certainly this little lady does many wonderful and mysterious things. It has been a long time since an act has created so much interest.
Rather disappointed in this man as a feature. He is alright at the price. Some of his work is very clever, while some tricks are badly executed. He makes a pretty fair appearance, but a very bad talker. Some of his small stuff I have seen handled better by ordinary three a day magicians. Received very little applause on his finish. Twenty-four minutes, full stage, two shows.
