Greeted by thunderous applause,

a fairy land, in his dual capacity of
conductor and that of q kindly teacher,
where his eager listeners were ad-
mitted to behold the romance of the

Central Europe was the subject of his
talk.

Magician

The Press
Blackstone Has a
Deft Way With
the Cards.
By HARRY MACARTHUR.
| AR. BLACKSTONE came to


Mr.. BLACKSTONE came To
M town yesterday.
wi Blackstone, you know, is
4 L the man of 1,00l mysteries"
or something like that, and he's to
present the stage show at the Capitol
next week.
He presented few of the mysteries
Informally to some Of the local press
yesterday afternoon in Carter Bar
ron's office, and If the lads weren't
going around in circles before, they
certainly are now. Blackstone, who Is
one OF the worlds foremost magicians,
can do things with cards you wouldn't
believe. The people who saw him yes
terday don't even believe he really
did what he did.
It all started down at the Fox Film
Exchange, where the expert trickster
attended the screening of the new
M-G-M short subject. Servant Of
the People," and Shirley Temples
latest film, "Stowaway."
Some wag Of the press suggested
card game when Blackstone came in.
He didn't really mean he wanted to
play cards with man that deft at
handling the pasteboards, but Black
stone said "Okay."
He pulled a deck Of cards from his
pocket, said to Ray Bell, take one,
look at it and put it back" Ray did.
Nov you shuttle them" directed
Blackstone. Ray did. The magician
then pulled out a card. There 1t Il"
said he to Ray.
"It is not" the Loew press chief
declared. He thought he had caught
somebody up. AHA, but look" said
Mr.. Blackstone. He tapped the card
ping-with his finger and it suddenly
was the one Ray had pulled from the
deck. That was anough, but when
every one got back to the Capitol and
Carter Barron's office there was more.
First Blackstone let somebody else
shuttle the cards and then dealt .
round of poker hands, giving one press
lad the heart flush he asked for. Then
he did various other things with those
cards, such as tossing them all in a
. hat and then tapping the hat so that
the card you wanted popped out, or
laying the cards out on table and
then picking out the one some one
was thinking Of.
There seems to be trick to 1t all
somewhere. But nobody who was in
that Office while Blackstone played at
card tricks for an hour or so would
play bridge with him, even if he prom
ised not to touch the cards. He could
probably hypnotic the things. If
he's half as good on the stage as he
was yesterday afternoon in Mr.. Bar
ron's office, he'll be terrific.
He did promise to do that sawing-in-
half trick with any one we suggested.
There's food for thought there.
The screening, where Blackstone
started all of his mystifying Of certain
members of the drama press, revealed,
incidentally, the fact that Shirley
Temple happily has real vehicle at
last. She has had to carry the past
few films she has made herself, by the
force of her own personality. This
time, however, she has been allowed to

light operas Of the series received no
less brilliant treatment from the
D'Oyly Caste Co. And, even though
1.-THE Pirates of Penzance" is less ap-
pealing to the ear, it is far more so
to the eye.
The rocky coast of Cornwall never
looked more real than in the first act
Of the opera, and the real coast prob
ably never aroused so much spontane-
GUS applause. Even more imposing
from the standpoint of arrangement,
color and lighting was the ruined
chapel set against which the final act
was played. Both awakened deeper
consciousness of the completeness
with which this astonishing English
company expresses its art. The same
imposing richness characterizes the
costuming of THE Pirates" which,
when it comes up on the program
again, you might keep in mind as one
of the handsomest of the nine works
billed for Washington.
THIS opera, the major item last
- night, introduced new voice;
new at least during the current en-
eagement. 1t is that of John Dean.
q tenor. Cast as Frederick, the pirates
apprentice, he comes to his most pleas

Mabel brenda BennetD. Their sing

moments which the audience insisted
upon protracting up to the breath limi-

There were times. indeed. when 1t
seemed a question of which would
wear out first, the voices of the cast
or the hands of the audience. Tact

bers, the most acclaimed were the two
