To-night, at the Strand Theatre, Jean Le Roi, the world-famous magician and illusionist, will present his first entertainment here in conjunction with an excellent picture programme. Our contemporaries give Kim great praise, and the reports are quite flattering, so we are expecting something out of the ordinary.

He works his wonderful mysterious and uncanny effects, depending on his own dexerity for carrying out each item successfully.
