Willio" began his weeks series of "magi-
cal soirees" at TIE Metropolitan Theater
last evening. Had it been known that
"Willio is the disguise adopted by one OF
the most skillful artists of the day in modern
magic, the house would probably have been
crowded. But "Willio had not been heard
! of here, and there was no reputation " at
taching 30 the name to attract and awaken
interest. The performer is one of the best
ever seen here his tricks in magic were adj
mirable, and were only equaled by his re-
markable and entertaining ventriloqual ex-
hibition in the way of vocal limitations. AS
an acrobat and contortionist, also, he proved
superior performer. The entertainment
was good throughout. At its conclusion
| 104 presents were distributed among ticket
all Of useful character and good
| quality. A committee of reputable citizens
was chosen to award the articles, and had the
matter under its entire charge, convincing
the auditors that the distribution was impair.
tial and not the result Of preconcerted arrang.
ment. Four of the articles distributed were
of special value A gold watch, taken by a
lad named Dietrich. living on K street, be.
tween Front and Second; diamond-Set ring,
by Walter Adams, Tenth and X streets; g
| full silk dress pattern, by J. Q. Adams, Sew
r. II. Doyle, All X street. Tonight % VII
Ito - promises an entire change of programme
1t is evident that so skilled magician al
he is can easily change his bill for many niPhtF
but he certainly should repeat his beautiful
limitations of the notes OF birds. The man
agement announces distribution of gift:
equal to that of last night, and upon the samf
plan.
