Hermann the Magician

There is a certain fascination about the
mystical and seemingly supernatural that
is always very attractive. Magic is an art
that pleases alike the young men and old
while it is an almost ideal entertainment
for children. OF all the names known to
magic the name of Hermann stands well
to the front. The great Hermann, king
of the magic world, whose name carries

The regular season of the Madison
Square theatre in New York will open to-
night with Why Smith Left Home, when
the original American cast will present
George H. Broadhurst's ''gleeful plenti-
tude" in New York for the first time.
Messrs Broadhurst Brothers, II will be re-
membered, took an entire American COM
'pany to London last spring to give Why
Smith Left Home a London endorsement,
the result being that Smith made a hit,
and the Strand theatre was nightly pack
ed 1t is seldom that American compa-
MES receive such flattering notices as
those accorded to Messrs. Broadhurst,
Arbuckle, George Barnum, NJ. B. Snyder,
Fred. w. Peters, Hans Roberts, Marion
GIroux, Mrs. Annie Yeamans, Dorothy
Usher, Gertrude Roosevelt, Mrs. e. A.
Eberle, Rose Snyder and Blanche Carlyle.
With such a cast 1t is not matter of
wonder that this American play made such
a success in the London metropolis. 1t is
perhaps needless to say that this Smith is
no relation to the one to whom Birming-
ham theatre patrons were introduced last
Thursday.
"Have You Seen Smith" will nauseate
theatre patrons at New Orleans this week.

The coming theatrical season will be one
of unusual interest. Many large and merl-
torious attractions are announced. Rich
ard Mansfelds large company and unpar-
aleled success in "Cyrano" has undoubt-
edly aroused the ambitions of the romantic
actor, hence the big productions announc-
ed are mostly of the romantic drama. al
though there will be larger number of
companies presenting Shakespeare's plays
than in several years.
Farce comedy, while still able to draw
largely, seems to have lost some of its
attraetiveness. Mist people go to the
theatre to laugh. Sweet singing and pop
uar instrumental music are also magnets
which have great drawing powers for the
multitude.
Minstrelsy seems to take strong lead
in the race the coming season. All the
standard companies have augmented their
forces for the coming season.
