Theatregoers are to be treated to
an entirely different style of attrac-

Alexander Windecker, called the Ma
poleon of Necromancers,' offers a
program far ahead of the usual style
of magicians. For 10 years he has
been famous man of mystery in
foreign countries. and this. his first
American tour, has proved his reputa-
ton has preceded him. In worthy
program replete with startling and
costly Illusions he never resorts to the
old. time-honored tricks of the fakir.
His work is completely mystifying
and his repertoire so extensive King
Oscar of Sweden once retained him
for year as court magician. In adj
dition his company comprises several
musical and speciality artists known
as the best in their various lines. 1t

he was willin', but asked $500 for his

that too much, declined, but offered him

something over $1,000. a pretty fair
