THURSTON. THE MAGICIAN
DELIGHTS PLAYHOUSE CROWD

Thurston, the Magician. was the at
traction at The Playhouse last night.
and that Wilmington likes Thurston
was shown by the fact that the house
was packed 1t is likely that excel
lent business will continue for the re-
mainder of the week for there is no
doubt about the ability OF Thurston
10 entertain Young and old are
alike delighted Everyone remem-
bcrs how he liked magic in his child
/ hood days and is anxious that his own
little folk should see the greatest
magician in the world and they send
them TO see Thurston. and in order
that the little people may thoroughly
appreciate everything which is done,
they go alorg with the children.
There is no doubt about the claim
of Thurston's management that nc IS
the greatest magician in the world
Is well founded. Not only docs he
perform the tricks which every
magician uses and performs them
to perfection. but he shows an inn
mense number of his own which are
so startling that the superstitious per-
son Is likely TO think that they are
supernatural. Thurston will tell you.
however, that they are tricks bat you
/ can scarcely believe it after he tells
/ you.
The program. which is being given
this week is the most elaborate which
| has ever been given here. Not only
are there scores OF small tricks which
never fail to delight but there are a
number of big ones. He has retained
/ the deviation trick, known generally
as the Princess Karnac, the invention
OF his former partner, Kellar, and he
has added of his own The Lady and
! the Lion. Balaam and his Donkey. the
/ Triple Mystery and a large number
Of others which are almost as elabOr-
ate. The audience last night was
simply mystfed, but it was delighted
Not only is Thurston the best magi-
clan who is on the stage, but he keeps
the audience interested, as we'll as
mystified. Thurston performing his
small tricks with his ready flow OF
clever talk. would make a pleasant
evenings entertainment without any
of the more pretentions tricks, and
when the public get both it gets some
thing entirely out of the ordinary
For instance, in the Lady and the Lion,
Thurston goes ahead of all other ma
gicians. There was general surprise
and great applause when a certain
noted magician made a goose appear
but Thurston goes ahead of all ol
them and make a real, live lion, full
sized. alive and in cage, appear from
some place. Where he makes IL ap'
pear from is his own trick and ol
course he does not tell how it is done
Thurston will appear at The Play
house each evening this week and ol
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons
Ladies attending the matinee on We'd
nesday will be presented with horo
scope, and it is expected that many vii
take the opportunity TO get one.

evening was the singing by Henry
Hennig, Of a song written by Herman
Gossen, especially for the occasion. in
which Mr.. Goetz figured as the prin-
ciRle. Mr.. Gossen was to have SUNG
.he song. but was unable to be pres

Most thin people cat from four TO six

the time. It's all bosh TO say that this
is the nature of the individual. It
isn't Natures way at all.
Thin folks stay thin because their
powers of assimilation are defective
They absorb just enough of the food

blance Of health and strength. Stufing
won't help them. A dozen meals a day
won't make them gain a single "stsy
there" pound All the fat-producing
elements Of their feed just stay in the
intestines until they pass from the
body as waste. What such people need
is something that will prepare these
fatty food elements so that their
blood can absorb them and deposit
them all about the something.
