ACT MY5T!FIES
 AUDIENCE AT
 10TH CENTURY
The Great Virgil Has Many Tricky Feats 10 Show
 Golden Gloves Film

"The Great Virgil the interna- tionally known magician current ly performing in person on the stage of the 20th Century Theatre, had a Juneau audience amused and mystified last night as he showed a number of tricks. The front rows were filled with many of the youngsters of the city, and in many of the acts, the magician asked their cooperation. It was quickly given.
 The act opened with number of magic word formulas which ap- parently turned rice into milk and caused oranges to appear on one table when they had obviously been left on another.
 In another trick, Virgil took a magazine cover, rolled it into a tube, and pushed colored handker- chiefs through it. The hankys came out as a flag, all sewed together, to the disbelief of the whole front section, who demanded that the tube be opened. The magician opened it to show nothing inside, and tore it up to show that noth- ing was hidden.
 One small boy was disconcerted to find that there was half dol lar in his hip pocket after he had carefully held a number of the coins in front of him. The Great Virgil drew it out with a magic wand.
 The illusionist had number of other acts in his repetoire, which will be shown again tonight.
 On the screen. film based on the annual amateur boxing contest, called Golden Gloves" is showing. In the romantic lead are Jean Cagney, sister of Jimmy Cagney, and Richard Denning. Both are newcomers, but their performances provide unusually good entertain ment. The Great Virgil comes on at 8:45, immediately following the first showing of the picture.
