"THE GHOST CLUB" at the
CANTERBURY HALL.—New and Interesting
Spectral Tableaux.—Mr. C. MORTON is enabled to announce
that, through ihe medium of Professor Pepper's World of
Shadows, a "GHOST CLUB" is nightly held at the CAN-
TERBURY HALL. The object of the Club is not the re-
Peopling, of the Haunted Houses of London ; but, through
the agency of Phantoms, to present vivid (if transient)
pictures of the drama of real life, both in its serious
and mirthful aspects ; and, by means of spectral tableaux.
to recall, and still further impress on the mind, some
of the teachings or ple.,santries of the best wrlors. At pre-
sent, the two orders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South.
and the "White" Slavery of a more boastful civilisation,
receive emphatic illustration ; and these life pictures will be
rapidly r eplace Iby others. The pages f Shakspere and the
ePer Dramatists, of Scott, Hood, Ine-oldsby, Dickens, itc., drc.,
wj 1. in turns, furnish subjects for illustration.
All the other Musical and Pictorial attractions RS usual,
including Operatic Selections, &c. ; Comedy by Ehnsworth
(the modern Demosthenes), Eugene, George Hodson, E.
Marshall, and George Hutchenson.
