AT CASINO THEATRE.
Brindamour Again Myssines Lars

Brfndamour Again Mystiaes Large
 The Casino at Electric Park was packed last evening to witness the vaudeville performance of which Brind- amour, the handcuff expert, is the headliner.
 Prof. E. M Merriam. who was in the audience brought with hi man ancient pair of Spanish military haudcuffs which were relics of the Philippine campaigns. These proved to be the most difficult cuffs from which Brinda- mour has freed himself since he came to Montgomery. It took him acout nine minutes of hard work under his cape to get away, but he finally turned the trick.
 He introduced several new tricks In which he was bound securely with ropes and tape. Tn all of his mystifying stunts he was enthusiastically ap- plauded by the big audience.
 On Friday night Brindamour will in- troduce one of the most difficuit feats ever performed on the stage or off {. He will be nailed up ina goods box. to be contributed by a local mercantile house. wehn he goes into the box he will be bound securely. hand and foot Within a few seconds he proposes to appear on another part of the stage and claims that an examination Of the box will show that tho nails have not been drawn or tempered with. Though Brindamonr Is the principal performer the other numbers on the program are clever and entertaining and are far from being completely overshadowed by the headliner.
