HUGARD'S MYSTERIES.

♦ Speaking of Hugard, the wonderful 1 conjurer and illusionist, who with his company is to appear at the Premier Hall on Monday, August 23rd, Mr Edwin Geacb, the wellknown theatrical eutrepreneur, who has handled all the areatest performers in thjs line from Carl Hertz on, in a contemporary savs:— "Comparatively speaking a youug maD, it is nevertheless twenty-three years since Hugard delighted his first audience as a conjurer. After all these years of unremitting patience and practice, row that he has mastered every sleight of hand trick, and invented many wonderful methods of fns own, he still regards himself as a student, and spares no effort to obtain that ultimate goal of supreme perfection upon which he has set his heart. To the average conjuring performer Hugard's hand-work is i revelation. Commencing with a few simple looking yet unexplainable sleights, he actively proceeds from feat to feat until be practically fascinates the audience with hid brilliance. He has been, well termed "the man with tha wonderful hands," and as he says there are feats which his facile hands perform that he cannot see the movements himself. His great rifle art is spoken of by the press as being one of the finest and most astounding feats yet pel formed 111 the magical world." Hugard ii supported by a strong company of singers, musicians and comedians, and should draw a big house here. The Great Chinese act is a marvellous sueces- 1 sioti of beautiful and startling transformations, and miraculous appearances and disappearances. Prices J are 3s and 2a.
