HERMANN THE GREAT.
Will Give One Performance at the
Academy Wednesday. the 9TH.

ltle following notice is taken from q
Philadelphia paper of the LIST inst:
Icon Hermann, nephew and claimant
to the mantle and title of the late Herr
mann the Great" made his PHILADELPHIA
debut as a p1rstidigitateur and magician
at the Park Theatre last evening. and
showed that he is at least not unworthy
of the name OF Hermann. His repertoire
included not only some of the tricks and
nlystifcations which were made famous
by his uncle. but also some clever ones
of his own devising. The Mysterious
Tub OF Neptune in which he produced
a number of ducks and a great many
other things, animate and inanimate, from
a tub of water, is the piece de resistance
of his bill and is convincing proof of
his skill. But it is in leserdemain, manip
ulations Of the hands, that this latest
Hermann is most adept, and his feats in
this line furnished entertainnlent and sur
prise to last nights audience tor the
greater part of the evening. In addition
TO the star" the performance includes
some taking novelties of the vaudeville
cast. SolaTet, IN q series of electric
and fire dances, is perhaps the best OF
these and at all events gives a pretty ey
hibition. The four LucieTs,. in a musical
Instrument speciality, are also noteworthy
