ing of handkerchiefs in the hope. of
startling their friends with their
newly discovered talents. For Thurs
ton, the famous magician, is the at
traction at the Orpheum tonight.
Thurston is here prepared to demon
strate anew that he remains superb
ly solitary in presenting mysterious
proportions. splendid equipment, mod
ern progress and public esteem he
is now 'the greatest magician on
earth" When phenomena, apparently
contrary to the rules of natural SCI
ence and in violation of the estab-
lished laws of cause and erect are
presented, it causes human fancy to
grope in vain for an explanation and
attributes the producer of such phe-
nomena, a knowledge of those things
that are mysterious and hidden from
mortals who are not conversant with
the secrets of magic, spiritualism and
the occult sciences of the Orient. To
tell of the whole happenings of the
two hours and a half performance
would be like telling all the fairy
tales in one story, as so many SEEM
ing miracles are performed.
The Thurston idea makes for good
in the sense that it contributes ma
terially and sensibly to the joy of
living: and it is doubly priced in that
this holds good for the grownups as
well as the little folk.
An array of clever Keith acts are

viola Dana in in Blue jeans,
"BrenIkers Ahead' appears at the
to-day in a romance entitled Break

congenial role of a young girl reared
among the fisher folk. Her bright
disposition makes her beloved by all,

she puts up to overcome these trials

Fix-It" transpire in the slums of New
York as well as in the home of
wealthy New York family. Some very
amusing complications arise, of which
Fairbanks makes the most.
