Saturday night Chautauquans
were treated to the most marvellous
demonstration OF magic ever seen in
Lakeland when Karl Germaine DEM
onstrated his wonderful skill.
His magical power was SO wonder
Jul that it can not be described.
However, all were treated to round
of unbelievable surprises from the
time he eXtricated the rabbit from
the back of Earl Futch's blouse to
the grand finale, when he produced
the flags of all countries from a
small piece of silk. The blooming
bouquet of roses and carnations
which he apparently produced from
the seeds, and which were the most
beautiful and fragrant the audience
ever saw; the lamp which he made
to disappear in thin air and the hun
cred and one other magical feats
which he performed, kept the audi
ence spellbOund for two hours. He
is a wonder, and although there
were those in the audience who
could tell exactly how he accom-
p,ished his magical triumphs, we
believe it will be a few days at least
before they will share hOnOrs with
him on the American platform.
