come into the city and seize the men,

Rapidly of mobilization and efficiency

fact that Juliet was a girl Of fourteen
forget that in many ways the actress
was unsuited to her part, and only saw
her idyllic impersonation of Shakes

Sothern gave a more softened character

Roland Blackstone as Peter.

Houdini Does Magic
For Newspaper Men

BY performing before the members OF
the National Press Club last night a few
tricks in magic, Houdinl proved himself
as skillful in legerdemain as in the
gentle art of Jail breaking.
Following a series Of manipulations
with a deck OF cards which completely
mystified his audience, he ended his
performance by placing a package OF
needles and piece OF thread in his
mouth which when withdrawn found
every needle threaded.
Before acquiring a reputation as a
manipulation of locks and handouts.
Houdini appeared in public as a ma
gician. but in Late years has given his
exhibitions Of magic only in private.
Houdini was presented to the members
of the club by John o. La Gorce, chair
man of the entertainment committee.
