Although Carter, who appears at

Americas famous magicians, he is
going to the front with rapid strides.
He luckily possesses a greater degree
of natural talent than his older
rivals, and it is this advantage which
is bringing him SO rapidly to the
highest position in magical art.
Upon his recent return from Europe
and India Carter was engaged to ap-
pear at Roster E Biaps famous
theatre In New York city, and SO
pronounced was his success that he
was retained there for six consecutive
weeks. The New York papers quick
" recognized the merits Of Carriers

clared that he was the foremost
