Oswald Williams
magical and illusion act, a number which made up in speed and swift surprise for its lack of laughing value.
Oswald Williams and Co.
The “Chinese”
trick, for which Williams dresses
as a mandarin, is a “disappearance.” Williams is quick
in action, working very swiftly, has a modern
style, but mars his act by the introduction
of simple shadowgraphs, employed
solely for comedy.
Hennella
Hornmann
Mysterious Moore
Starts with a card trick that last seven minutes.
The Sharrocks
Comic telepathy.
Howe and Howe
Houdini
He opened the week with the
“crazy crib” escape trick, varying It at each performance.
Alice Norton
Miss Norton is programmed as a student
of Professor Pictet, of Zurich, Switzerland, and
claims to have conquered the science of manufacturing
rubies and other genuine gems by means
of an apparatus consisting of large vessels filled
with colored fluid. Several spectacular exhibitions
with Are and other flammable experiments
make the set rather mystifying and dubious.
It is showy, however, and interested the audience.
The particles of “manufactured” rubies
distributed in the audience are smelted stone
mixed with purple crystals.
