ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE GREAT JANSEN,

AMERICA’S GREATEST TRANSFORMIST.

The greatest illusionist, transformationist, Mystic, and wonder of the years—Jansen the incomparable, will re-appear in the Town Hall this evening. Jansen begins where other masters left off. Their great achievements were his first lessons their triumphs were his first problems. Jansen is not only a magician, he is a transformationist, an illusionist, a maker of miracles, doing the seemingly impossible and making of tbe unreal the commonplace. Never did a performer come here so well equipped with ability, with daring conception to imagine and with fidelity to fulfill —never a performance so well provided with the paraphernalia that allows a stupendous and spectacular show, Jansen knows the demands of humanity for entertainment, and he knows that mystery has always held, and always will hold, first place in belief, in life, in the pleasures of man, and in all the affairs of the world. Mystery—people believe in mystery, live for mystery, long for mystery, and the association of magicians from tbe cradle to the grave Jansen, is the greatest product of the world in his line —absolutely incomparable, unapproached, complete master of mystical methods and creator of his own acts. East night’s audience was delighted with the entertainment. The box plan is at the Town Clerk’s office, PICTURE SHOW ANNIVERSARY NIGHT. . A very fine assortment of films will be screened on Wednesday night at the Coronation Town Hall. There will be something to suit all tastes, dramas, comedies, sceuics and comics, and all of them good. “ The Fighting Dervishes of the Desert,” one of the most extraordinary motion pictures ever produced. “ German Gymuastics,” the famous Mr Braun, champion cup - winner, in throwing the disc, putting the weight, pole jumping, long jumping, obstacle race, etc., etc. “ A Mexican Romance,” in which four lovers get all tangled up and finally straightened out again, is shown as only a Enbin film can show it. Scenic lovers will be more than pleased with “ Delicalia and “Thro’ Alb Valley. “ The Sheriff’s Daughter” is one that grips and holds your attention from start to finish, while “ Mans Genesis ” has to be seen to be realised, as for the comics, well, if you think a laugh will do you good come and you will get it.
