 Jess Dandy, the Hans Wagner of l Henry w. Savage's Prince of Pilsen" company is accomplished in more ways | than one. He Is not only an unctuous | comedian, but Is a master Of sleight of hand. There Is scarcely a palmin 2 trick known that he Is not familiar with. In his younger days he was the assistant of the most noted magician of the time, but learned the tricks so rapidly that he lost his position.
