the Great perhaps the only woman ma macian magician cian in the world today This ThIe information came to Paul Pul and Thorald Hammer Mrs brothers in a vague manner some weeks ago BO but was corroborated by a aletter aletter letter from Mrs Eliason Ellason herself her ell during last week She began her tour about about four fome months ago and her reception by br bythe the Australian people gave he her the as assurance Burance of success from the beginning 1 It will be remembered that at t the I time of ot his tragic death Dante had I Australia at his hia feet Mrs EUa Eliason on was ther assisting him in several illusions mu l ns It was i Sieved L she would return to her home in Salt Lake after atter the death of her husband Instead Dante was burled buried in Sydney the scene of his greatest triumph and the young widow concluded to remain there for the time being A A few months ago Mrs Eliason wrote of her intention to return to Utah and following that comes cornea the tle astonishing and aDd altogether pleasing plea story stary of G her in the field which placed her husbands name upon the scroll of fame Mrs Mra Eliason has baa she writes taken all aU her husbands illusions and lesser leaser le er feats of at magic and from om the press pre clippings forwarded by her it is evi evident evident dent that she gives cives them with the same aane startling effect as so Dante hr h r predecessor sor Madame Dantes pictures show her in the same costume co tume adopted by her ber husband d FoI is t ono of the flattering press notices forwarded to Thorald Hammer It is

difficult t to name an in which they have not already proved themselves more expert than the sterner sex Toowoomba peo pee people people pie on Thursday night received a very good illustration of this in n the opening performance of ot Madame Dante the th Great Gleat in the he Theatre Royal to ro a 8 large Jar e end nd representative audience We have havel havet l t een en favored with many visits from professors of and magi lans cian who performed Beats eat which we at the Ule time considered bordered closely on the supernatural but com corn compared compared pared with Madame Dante they were as the ancient stag coach com oared with the modern locomotive in point of speed 8 d It may lUay be said eaid that the charm chann ot of Madame Dantes performance is its In legerdemain pure and sun sin pie she is astonishingly clean and Quick while in the box trick and the cabinet trick she introduces introduce the new feature of extraordinary rapidity and andi IP ir i her optical illusions she succeeds in blending bending the th substance with the shadow Li 00 o closely that the th tb joining absolutely defies clones d es detection d The several items fol to followed followed I lowed each other so quickly that the attention 8 of the audience is never al allowed allowed lowed to flag and Madame s quite re remarkable remarkable ability in the strict sphere of ofa ofa ofa a conjurer is not in any way discounted I Iby by the usual patter and incidental I business In the realm of legerdemain n I Ione one of her cleverest tricks consisted in i producing an entire supper for fur three persons perso including table cloth ser serviettes serviettes cutlery glass eatables and Wine wyte W t from half balt a dozen lengths of tubing and the first part of the was concluded by a curious trick in which Mademoiselle elle Edmund Edmunda i her assistant was apparently laced Jl I in a cage ge from which he disappeared in full view of the audience The Th sec sac second ond oart of tie was a va ft variation nation of ol the he t well known box trick which consists in a person being heing se at securely securely bound inside a large ox from front which he be then emerges J In Madame ame Dantes Dantee version v n there are two boxes one ce C of which is placed inside the other wh u bie ie within the inner box ho bo an assistant tam is fastened in ia a large bag ba The whole If IP then placed d tr t ther with a second assistant behind a and when the curtain is drawn after the lapse of ot about seconds the Che first man is found standing on the stage and the tIte second Bee nd is discovered Inside the sack and the inner box The beggars dream ream is a wierd idea ides elaborated elbo by Madame Dante Mademoiselle Madem l eH Edmun Edmunda da clothed hi In mn mean attire is 1 placed in ina ina a cage and changed to a new and more beautiful edition of Mademoiselle elle corrected and amended by Madame adame Dante which is then set a on fire Are She is apparently consumed

riding which defied all the laws of gravity and afterwards when blindfolded she read figures on a slate and performed feats teats of calculation with figures which were ere invisible to her while
