THEATRE-ROYAL, WILLIAMSON-SQUARE,
IS NOW OPEN,
EVERY EVENING DURING THE WEEK,
WITH the extraordinary and truly surprising'
Performances of the WIZARD-OF-WIZARDS, VENT •
TRILOQUIST, and IMPROVISATORE,
MR. JACOBS,
FROM THE STRAND THEATRE, LONDON,
Who respectfully begs to announce that he has been induced,
from the great success he experienced on his last visit, again to
engage the Theatre Royal for a limited
e,Likwber of nights, pre-
vious to his departure for America
The astounding feats he hasAi w to introduce will entirely
'eclipse all other Professors of the Cabalistic Art. His mysteries
have gained for him the mine of the modern Faustus. The
Experiments performed by La Compt, Lodowergski, Herr Do-
bler, and Monsieur Phillipe, are to him perfectly easy, while the
mere every-day tricks of 'the East, West, North, and South
Wizards are thrown completely into the shade. Formerly an
audience could be amused with changing an Egg into a Canary
Bird. Mr. Jacobs, with perfect ease, transforms Globes of
Water and Gold Fish into live Ducks and Geese ; a single Egg
into a Flock of Pigeons ; a box of common Horse Beans into
Hot Coffee, Sugar, and Milk enough to supply the whole au-
dience ; a Lady's Ring into a beautiful Orange Tree ; a small
Automaton Enchantress, supplies from a Magic Tavern the
audience with Whiskey, Gin, Rum, Brandy, Sherry, and Port ;
indeed, to enumerate the many wonders accomplished by the
Wizard-of-Wizards, would be superfluous in an advertisement.
The Stage will be fitted up in a style of great splendour, form-
ing a complete Temple of Enchantment.
Mr. JAcoss' Ventriloquism will be found highly amusing.
He imitates twelve voices in as distinct a manner as though
twelve persons were actually in earnest conversation. The time
of the audience is not idly occupied with Mimicry, but the
voices follow each other with great rapidity from various parts
ascending, descending, or receding with astonishing effect.
Mr. JACOBS will also extemporize a Song upon various sub-
jects given him by the audience,after the manner of the Italian
Improvisatori. The whole Entertainment, from its varied
nature, will be found a treat not often to be met with.
Mr. JACOBS, in addition to his own Performances, has en-
gaged the celebrated Mr. BATEMAN, the first AMERICAN
DELINEATOR, COMIC SINGER, and MUSICAL, PERFORMER Of
the day. He will make his first appearance in this country
To-moanow (Wednesday), the 7th instant, and re-appear
every Evening during the Week.
