 Since the gifted Marc forever lald down his magician's wand. many ar of leadership in this field. which he had easily held for many years upon the American platform. But 1t IS our belief that James Morrison Totten, magician, humorist, impersonator. mas won the coveted prize By common consent of the Iyceum public, no ar tist today wields the magic wand Of Marc with more delicacy, skill, mys- tery and charm no personality so completely fills his wizards mantle; no entertainer wears the cap and bells of this great master of legerdemain with more grace and ease than MT. Totten.
 The bureau confidently presents him for his tenth successful season as the most gifted artist in his chosen field that is before the public today. Totten is a. big all-round man and a big all-round magician and entertain CT. He has not only won his spurs, but he has tested their quality before hundreds of Chautauqua and lyceum audiences, the most critical in Amer ica The verdict is open to 1nspec- tion It is not only favorable but en- thusiastic. His return list of dates is immense. Totten's art is on big lines; it is sure; it Is finished It is an art that comes only out of a big person aIity, wide in it's sympathy. captivat- ing: a personality glowing with pur- pose and the humor of life. His art Is disciplined, finely chiseled, not broad nor coarse, but wholesome and uplfftinz Ariel himself under the guidance of Prospero did not work more mystifying transformations, more impossible feats of illusion, all cooperating to a happy end.
 There are about thirty tickets for sale at 50 cents each. and these can be secured at Y. M. c. A.

 The play has to do with the adven- lures Of an actress who plays a clever trick on a young author to convince him that she :s fitted for a role which she desires. It is necessary for the accomplishment of her purpose that she disguise herself as a girl of the slums and undergo a series of startling adventures. She is game" and the eventual discomfiture of the author is complete

JESS TO FIGHT?
Says He's Willing To Re-Enter
Ring for Red Cross.
Fred FultOn'S Manager Calls
for a Showdown.

New York, Dec 18.-Jess Willard
has taken the step that may yet make
him popular.
Hounded by critics and boxing
fans because of his unwillingness to
fight, the big champion stands today
committed to a promise to fight solely
for the benefit of the Red Cross. No
heavyweight is barred as his opponent
further than that no man will be al
lowed to make money from the bout.
To insure this, Willard declares he will
promote the contest himself aided by
the official staff of his circus. He will
try to have the department of justice
give permission for the exhibition of
motion pictures of the fight in order
to continue giving money to the Red
Cross.
A Popular Move.
Willard may be pacifist champion,
but in offering his services in this
manner he has touched the country s
heart strings and he has reached a
rung on the ladder just a step higher
than the boxers who are instructing
Uncle Sans soldiers in parry and
thrust.
Fred Fulton probably will be the
man selected and to Fulton must go
some of the credit for smoking Will
lard out. The threat of the long plas-
INACA " lilC uIlleSS
Willard agreed to fight by December
20 doubtless had something to do with
the champions decision. But Fulton
is the best man available and the pub
lie would stand for nothing less.

fend his title against any fighter

declared. ION November 20, Fulton
posted $1,000 forfeit and gave notice
to Willard that unless the forfeit wa.
| covered by December 20 he would

money and signs articles by that time
Fulton, too, will gladly donate hi:
share of the receipts to the Red Cross
Furthermore, if Willard signs before
December 20, Fulton will send the Rec
Cross check for $1,000
Collins said Fulton would call of
two pending battles for which forfeit:
are posted, if Willard would .consen
to meet him.
