Esme Levante. increases the family's lustre, and there are thirty-two English music hall and vaudeville artists supporting this Master of Magic. As the visit is for one night only intending patrons are advised to book their seats at the.shop of Messrs Steele and Bull where the plans are rapidly filling'.
