The Majestic's Offerings.-For the
week of Nov. 10 the big Majestic the
alter. Chicago, will offer one of the
greatest bills ever presented on any
vaudeville stage, fully justifying the
promises of its management to present
only the best talent to be obtained in
the amusement world. Houdini, the
celebrated handcuff king of the world,
who was the great sensation of last
weeks bill will continue for one more
week. His work has been marvellous,
having managed to release himself from
some of the most intricate manacles
and irons that the master mechanics
have been able to devise. When one
sees Houdini's hands, arms and feet
tightly secured with some of the clev-
crest inventions used by the police for
securing desperate prisoners, it seems
impossible to believe that this man
can release himself from all these
chains; however. he accomplishes this
feat in a remarkably short period of
time to the marvel of the audience.
