A week ago last Saturday Mr..
George Godfrey Moore held his audi
ence spellbound as he pulled from his
conjuror's hat rabbits, chickens, silk
flags and wood shavings; as he made
dollars disappear and Matched full
grown birds from tiny eggs. as he
made vanish anything the kindly audi
ence would loan him. But this last
Saturday the performance was IL pos
sible even more remarkable. Miss
Mary Green and Miss Lorene Bates
having watched Mr.. Moore very care
fully were able to do his remarka BILE
tricks and even more. For whereas
he had pulled silk flags from a hat,
they were able to extricate whole
bathing suits and where he had made
rabbits to appear, they brought dogs
and cats. After showing their ability
as magicians Miss Green and Miss
Bates initiated the dancers at Lake
View in a highly entertaining manner
and for once folks saw themselves as
other see them. There was loud and
satisfying applause from the appre-
ciative audience.
