THURSTON ARRIVES
WITH MANY NEW TRICKS.
Thurston, magician, who appears to
have the right to refer to himself as "the"
magician, arrived at English's last night
for a weeks enga cement. His program
this season embraces new Illusions as
well as some of his former successful
tricks. Thurston Is one Of the best card
manipulators in the business.
Everything from card manipulation to
Saving woman in halves" which he
announces Is "a sensational problem
based on hypnotism, vivisection and blood
less surgery" is to be found on Thurs
toms program.
Thurston is an entertaining talker
and keeps up a numerous vein during
most Of the performance. He calls for
men and boys to come upon the stage
and witness a number of his Illusions,
and gets much fun from them.
Last night there were a number Of
small boys who were eager to view the
with pink ribbon bows In her hair, was
disappointed when Thurston changed
little white bunny to a box Of candy.
He asked her to look into mans pocket
for the bunny. She had a difficult time
getting it but finally took it to her
seat.
Among the more difficult stunts he per-
forms is that Of causing a boy to dis
appear and In his place is seen a real
live lion.
One Of the most interesting parts Of
the program is termed, do Spirits Re-
turn?" In this offering, Thurston prob
ably is at his best. A cabinet is used
and many spookey figures appear and
many strange things happen.
AS usual the program includes "The
Levitation Of the Princess Karnac," which
is announced as an hynotic scene. The
program Is lengthy one but is handled
to true showmanship style.
Thurston Is a treat for the very young
and for the very old young.

CHINESE MAGIC
TOPS LYRIC BILL.
The Choy Ling Hee Troupe takes first
honors on the current bill at the Lyric
to contortion work. A baby Chinese girl
sings Chinese and American songs to the
delight Of all. One Of the women is
swung across the stage, hanging by her
hair. Another startling bit, is when a
member of the troupe dives through five
hoops with steel knives projecting close
to the center Of the hoops.
The musical farce, Pardon Me" has
eight girls and two men in the cast.
There Is something of plot, some anus
ing comedy and some tuneful music in
this act. Peppino and Perry play the ac-
Gordon and violin. These two men are
entertainers as we'll as musicians and
have arranged a pleasing program OF
lassical and popular selections.
Wanda Ludlow and company present a
comedy playlet, in which a young lady
insurance agent gets an attorney into a
compromising position in order to get
his signature to an insurance policy. The
theme is well worked out and cleverly
handled. Watt and War; wear some
funny costumes and do a dancing turn
of some merit. Jackson and Arnold have
a line Of nonsensical chatter and close
with a popular song. The Four Roeders
open the bill with tumbling acrobatic
turn.
This bill remains on view at the Lyric
all week.
