The Mysterious Milburns.
Magicians
Gustave Milburn is a magician
and his charming wife is his cap
able assistant. Together they
make an attractive couple, who
delight the children and enter
tain their parents. Among
his magical novelties are tricks
which puzzle the mind and cheer j
the heart. What he says is of- j
ten quite as interesting as what
he does. Dexterity, suggestion,
< mystery and humor make up a
program with an irresistible fas
cination. Slate writing, turning
water into wine, and wine into
water, the escape from the Rus
sian convict chain, a phenomenal
use of billiard balls, and other |
tricks which nobody explains
comprise a program with breath
less interest from start to finish.
Mrs. Milburn is a charming lady,
and adds interest to the enter
tainment. If you wish to enjoy
a magician who has taken up
magic with intelligent earnest
ness and who ranks among the
best, don’t fail to see Milburn,
Magician and entertainer.
