„THE GHOST CLUB” at the
CANTERBURY HALL.—New and Interesting
Spectral Tableaux.—Mr. C. MORTON is enabled to announce
that, throuc:h the 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 pleasantries of the best wr;ters. 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 replaced by others. The pages of Shakspere and the
elcer Dramatists, of Scott, Hood, Ingoldsby, Dickens, &c., &c.,
wil, in turns, furnish subjects for illustrat,on.
All the other Musical and Pictorial attractions as usual,
including Operatic Selections, &c. ; Comedy by Unsworth
(the modern Demosthenes), Eugene, George Hodson, E.
Marshall, and George Hutchenson.
