CANTERBURY HALL,
The Fairy Entertainment, entitled

PRINCE BLOSSOM IN THE LAND OF SHADOWS!
Is written expressly for this establishment by W. F. Vander-
veil, author of the celebrated " Enchanted Hash," and en-
ables Mr. Morton, with the aid of Prof essor Pepper's Optical
Illusion (known as the Ghost), to produce effects never before
contemplated, and which have all been duly registered by
him and Mr. J. H. Weston under the title of " The Ghost in
the Magic Fountains." By this new arrangement, that
which is in reality nothing but a shadow, becomes to all ap-
pearance endowed with life, and when "Fame" takes her
flight through the burning Cataracts, and the Naiads seek
their beds in the Crystal Waters, form a coup d'ceil of beauty
unparalleled even in fairy romance.
