BANCROFT. THE MAGICIAN.

Bancroft, The magician, has struck
the magic cord which appeals to the
play going public. There is a certain
charm OF personality about him which
places him in immediate touch with his
audience. He offers beautiful stage
pictures, with gorgeous scenery, hand
some costumes and unique furniture
He is himself a highly skilled per-
former, and presents mysteries which
none are able to unravel One needs
only to see hfm to be impressed with
the really great dexterity Of The artist
and the possibility of magic when adj
vanced to a science. His mysterious
doings are beyond explanation. No one
attempts 1t. All one can do is TO look
and wonder admire and be perplexed,
laugh and be pleased. Bancroft is at
tIactive personally, and his entertain
ment is clean, clever and brilliant. lie
strives ait mystery and succeeds mar
velously. The announcement Of the
great magician's appearance at the cosy
Bijou Theatre next Thursday, Friday
and Saturday has been received with
unusual interest by theaItre-goers, and
Bancroft will no doubt be greeted, as
usual, by large audiences.

CRESTON CIIARKE'S NEW PLAY.
"The Last Of His Race" a new four
act romantic drama, will be presented
at the Grand Opera House next Thurs
day evening by Creston Clarke and
strong supporting company, headed by
Miss Adelaide Prince. The story of
"The Last of His Race" is laid in
France at the end of the eighteenth cen
tury. Lows Cardel is a young, but sue
cessful artist, presumably from humble
life, but with a mystery as to his par
entage. He loves Marie de Neuville, a
noble lady, niece Of the Countess de
Champcey, and she reciprocates his al
lection, rejecting the fervid attentions
Of the Marquis de Veaugour, bad man,
who thereupon plots the ruin OF his
successful rival. BY the death Of his
uncle, Prince Okolskoi, of Russia, the
marquis succeeds TO his title and es-
| tates. With the assistance OF DrOm-
iroff, Russian chief OF police. it is made
to appear that Carde is the son Of a
serf on the Okolskoi estates, and there
fore himself a slave and the property
Of his rival The manner in which this
plausible story is disproved and the
mystery of the young artists birth
cleared up forms the best part of the
drama. In the end it is shown that
l Cardel is the lawful son and heir of the
Russian prince, and he comes into his
estates, TO the complete discontinue OF
the wicked marquis. THE Last OF His
Race" will have the benefit OF a com.
plete scenic equipment, and will IN
every respect be a big and successful
production.
