CorlINC ATTRACTIONS.
Columbia Theater.

The attraction at the Columbia Theater
for the week commencing Monday evening
Will be Magician kellar. Kellar is thor
oughly Well known to Washington and is
popular with the playgoers. of this city.
For number of years he has entertained
large audiences here and his efforts have
never failed to please his patrons. His ac-
quaintance with the mysterious work Of The
necromancers of India is we'll known, and
his exploitation Of their most perplexins
achievements has gained for him the repu-
tation of the greatest living magician. He
has endeavored from year to year to so
finish and perfect his illusions that he may
present them In such a manner as to leave
not the slightest shadow of a clue by which
the method of their production may be
fathomed. He believes that If he can step
to the footlghts and command the SEEM
tngly impossible to occur, and his COM
mands are obeyed. that the effect upon his
audience is far greater than If subter-
fuges Of so palpable nature as to suggest
the means applied are made use Of Fol-
lowing this theory he has discarded the use
or the covers, screens. convenient drap-
cries. &C., and works entirely upon a
fully lighted stage. One of his master
pieces this season may be briefly described
as a suggestion of the character of his
entire entertainment. He places a pot oil
sand upon chair In the center Of the stage
and walks down to the front to explain to
the audience how a magic orange tree
grows. He commands it TO grow and it
grows from the sand. The entire progress
OF its growth from seed to maturity Is
seen by every one. and when the ripened
fruit is plucked and distributed In the au-
dience the amazement of the spectators
may be better imagined than described.
And while he is talking his head floats gaily
off into the air, wanders around a while In
a most comical manner as if seeking a bet
ter resting place and then returns to the
place which nature designed it to ornament.
Many Of the large illusions to be presented
here are the masterpieces Of Kellar's crea-
tion. His budget of small magic will be
found bright. fresh and perplexing. Natl
nees will be given on Thursday and Satur
day afternoons, at which popular prices
will prevail, and the evening prices are to
range from % cents to 81.
