I THURSTON, THR MAGICIAN
| Thurston. the famous magician
| with the same company and program
I that he presented for two months at
the Globe Theater. New York, will
appear at the Orpheum Theater for
three days, starting Christmas Day
matinee. He will close his engage
ment with a matinee and night per
formance Saturday.
To-day Thurston stands more flrm
ily entrenched in the affection and,
esteem of the American public than
j ever before, because not satisfied'
with his conquests of the past, he is]
marching onward and upward to
I grander heights and greater achieve-!
Imentst It is claimed his expenditures I
[for this season eclipse all other years. I
ihis new and startling mysteries qndl
j the greatly enlarged company com- 1
bine to make it the greatest show'
lever presented by Thurston and the;
, magic surprise of all time.
; There are few forms of entertain
j ment which appeal more potently to]
]tbe general public than magic, and to]
] Thurston is due the credit of bringing'
it to its highest expression, since;
, Kellar retired he had dropped intoi
i liis place in the affection of theater-:
i goers who enjoy the thrill of the,
mysterious, the fascination of the itn-'
] possible, made easy before your eyes.;
iHe is a student of the occult. Ilisi
j performance is weird and at the!
j same time instructive, and especially
i attractive in thaj it appeals to th"
ladies and children as well as the
seasoned male theatergoers. There is
i something about his entertainment
Which makes you leave the theater
with a feeling that you are goir.g
I back to see him again and again, tin-'
til you have solved lite secret of his
! mysteries. Then you think of some!
of the things he does and von realize,!
; smilingly, that it's a hopeless tusk. ;
The majority of Thurston's new!
| features for this year deal with life 1
i in the afterworld such as the mani-j
I testations of spirits and the material
ization of ghosts, then there is an:
elaborate Chinese spectacle tailed
"The Mystery of the Fountains," pre-,
|sented with p wealth of beautiful 1
j scenery, lighting effects and costumes
, symbolic of the Orient.
