MYSTERY AND MIRTH

Henry & Co., magicians, will appear
at the Woman's Club house tonight.
NJ. Henry's mysteries are spectacu-
lar. brilliant and awe-inspiring. The
entertainment he presents is said to
be one of the most beautiful on the
platform. For more than twelve
years Mr.. Henry has maintained a
standard by which all other magical
entertainments have been judged.
To vary the program Mr. Henry has
introduced his marvellous sand paint
ing. He is the originator of this art
and his demonstrations have created
a sensation wherever he has appeared.
Some one has said until you have
seen Henry's 'Snowbound' you have
failed TO grasp Whittier.
Henry & Co. carry over a ton of
special settings and apparatus. and
the costuming is brilliant. Mr.. Henry
is ably assisted by his wife, while an
expert stage mechanic directs the
numerous intricate properties. This
entertainment is the fourth number
in the lyceum course which the Wom-
ans Club is conducting this winter
An evening with the Henrys has
proven a delight to hundreds of the
largest audiences in practically every
section of the country and Ocala peo-
pie are fortunate in having the oppor-
tunity to see them.
