Prof Graham's Clever Tricks Ap-
preciated by Slim House.
There were not enough people at Aliens
Grand opera House last night to pay for
opening the doors. However, Prof. Gralian
1.-The wonder worker gave his perform
ance as advertised.
His first appearance was male in a man
ner becoming a wizard, appearing from ii
cabinet apparently empty. He then pro-
ceeded witht.his eyes blind folded, to read
the cards exposed by his assistant, to add
figures, and finally to dictate the familiar
chess moves,
For the Second portion of the program
a committee, of four went up from the
audience. They, were quite as puzzled as
the audience as to how the subsequent
tricks were performed. Bound hand and
foot to a secure slab, Prof. Graham was
surrounded by canopied frame. Then
a mandolin and tambourine were played
upon, and the knots were united The
entertainment lasted a trifle over an hour.
