Hugard's Mysteries.

The age of marvels, according to some is past and gone—the world is a matter of fact and science and education have robbed to a great extent the mysteriousness of mu'ch of ,'its power. "There is 110 fresh thing," is the cry of the multitude. The unprecedented advance of modern thought lias vanquished superstition and enabled the modern observer to assign adefinite and tangible cause to almost any effect, through whatever complex stages it may have been accomplished. To impress the modern mind nowadays with the mysterious, one must indeed be a wizard, having more than the ordinary stock-in-trade of the average conjuror at his hand. Hugard comes to Levin in the zenith of his power. For two and a half hours hi 6 performance rivets attention. One of the most striking features of Hugard's entertainment is work done in absolute silence most of the evening, and seeming miracles are effected. The illusions are all new and contain many startling and sensational effects. Supporting Hugard are several artiste new to Levin, including Miss Myra Errington (soprano and instrumentalist) Madam 'Carroll, Miss Millie Clare (comedienne and vocalist) Oiivalli and dog "sport" (jugglers, balancers and tricksters) and Ohung Sun Loo (the mysterious Chinaman) who is presenting his gorgeous array of illusions in a "Night in a Chinese Palace." The company opens at the King's Theatre on Tuesday, June Ist.
