The daily sentinel., 1907-04-02
is A GREAT ENTERTAINER
Great Audience Simply Bewildered
by Marc, the Magician,
Last Night.

Not a single person who held a
ticket for the lecture course and
was present last night at the Park
opera house could have felt any other
way than highly pleased with the
wonderful performance given by
Marc the prince of magic, perhaps
the most successful and the clever
est necromancer in America today.
Marc is all that is claimed for him,
his entertainment was one of the rich
est. most perplexing and most keenly
enjoyed given in Grand Junction in
a long. long time. The attraction
will take rank as one of the strong
est ever brought here by the lyceum
course management.
The opera house was packed from
orchestra pit to the top row in the
gallery with season ticket holders.
Rev. Becker regretted that the
change from the church to the opera
house had to be made but 1t could
not be helped, and when 1t was taken
into consideration that a full and
complete performance could be given
at the opera house and could not have
been given at the church there was no
room for complaint on the part of
anybody.
Marc is perhaps the most versatile
entertainer that ever appeared here,
in connection with being a magician
of wonderful powers, he is a music
ian of remarkable talent and a chalk
artist of marvellous ability. He is
humorist of no mean ability and to
be a wholly successful magician one
must be clever as a humorist.
Maros performance is divided into
four parts, first, Forty Minutes of
Bewilderment and Humorous situa-
ions" including the inexplicable
Cogliostro" the wonderful Spirit
Cabinet of Balsamo," and Maro's
twentieth century marvel. Flags of
all Nations. The three illusions are
at once startling and weird. The lat
ter Flags of all Nations" when Marc
seemingly from small red flag and

lights in front of the audience pro-
duced one thousand flags and pen
nants several hundred of them of i'm
mense size, burdening two assistants
and himself with their weight was
one of the prettiest and eleverest IL
lusions imaginable.
The second part introduced the
Saxaphone quartette. composed of
Marc and three other members of
his company. and he selections prin-
cipally medleys. rendered on these in
struments were highly enjoyed
Maro's work on his original instru-
ment. THE Gogglepeg." a one
stringed instrument, was charming
as well as marvellous. In this part
Marc demonstrated his talent as n
tightening chalk talker and his draw
ings and pictures with the pastel up
side down aroused the highest ad-
miration.
Part third was THE Magic of the
Orient" Marc appearing as an East
Indian sorcerer or fakir and giving n
performance OF typical East Indian
Magic. This was one of the most fas-
cinating and one of the strongest
features of the entertainment.
Part four was Forty Minutes More
Magic" and numerous tricks and IL
lusions given in this part were in
tensely delightful and perplexiug.
The final act when Mr.. W. C. Nc
Curdy was called to the stage and
from his clothes Marc produced deck
after deck of cards, flags. live goose
and scores of other things, set the
audience wild.
Nearly every feature and illusion
Marc presents is entirely new, novel
and original with him. He gives
one OF the best legerdermain per
formanees ever put on the American
stage.
Marc is all right, he's a great show.
The lecture course management is to
be congratulated upon securing him
The next attraction on the course
will be Col. George w. Balm, on April
10th.
