AT THE THEATERs.
Y. NJ. c. A. ENTERTAINMENT.

l..
Ihe Durno- Emmett entertainment which
crossed the Y. M. G. A. series of attrac-
lions last night at the Peoples church
proved interesting to a large audience.
Mr. Emmett, a self-possessed and re-
soufceIui young man, played pieces on
violin which he held on his head be-
hind him, on the floor or under his arm.
lnterspersing his musical selections with
Jokes and stories, many of which made
the audience laugh. Mr.. Emmett was
very good about encores, often anticipa-
ting the wishes of the audience in that
respect. Durno, the magician. did some
tricks that are very old and some that
are new and surprisingly clever Against
a weird background formed of soulbre
curtain on which were figures of SER
penis, charming birds and frogs, and to
the accompaniment of soft music, the
magician drew chickens from the pock-
etc or men in the audience, found in hol-
low cylinders, that had first been waved
convincingly before the audience, all
the necessary articles to set a table for
dinner, burnt up or pounded to pieces
several valuable articles taken from
different ones in the audience and then
returned them unframed to their owners
The trick pianist, who was to have
aided in the entertainment, was not
present last evening. Neither were there
any programmes, so the entertainment
must have been a series of surprises to
many in the audience

announced last evening that the price

tertainments would be lowered. Eae
