THE THEIrERs.

A unique entertainment comes 70 Boyd's
New theater tonight, for one night only, in
the shape Of the eminent prestidigitateur,
Hermann, aided by Nine. Hermann. The
principal part Of Hermann's Entertainment
consists OF rare and all startling phenomena
to which his own original and collective
brain has given existence. His work, SEEM
ingly sets at naught all natural laws. IL is
replete with mysticism and those occult
deeds ordinarily ascribed to the redoubtable
prince Of darkness. Yet everything is
simply done, and Hermann frankly disclaims
any supernatural agencies. The remainder
or the combination is composed OF a lot of
exceptionally clever people.
The feats Of legerdemain performed by
Hermann, the prince of conjurors, are none
of the ordinary straightforward affairs to
which the old line of theater Koers are
accustomed. Hermann stands alone and
supreme in the art diabolique, and no
word description can do full justice

that is bewitching, he entrances by the
subtle power which he so greatly possesses,
and mystiiies and bewilders YOU by the dsft-
ness and dexterity with which he executes
his remarkable featS. He Is simply q marvel
