Get fish Friday of Henry Nevill.

RENO, THE MAGldiArt. ' For thirty-three years Edward Reno has l»een a magician. He is constantly inuuitiug new things in magic and illusions. Magic, like everything else, has progressed with rapid strides dur lß< 1 lie past few years. Reno has the usual light paraphernalia. but performs his tricks while in ordinary evening dress and so adroitly as to escape detection in every case. In this respect he is a wonder. He Boes things that seem absolutely impassible of execution without the aid of sii|>ernatnral agency. One of iiis performances that never fail to amaze his audiences is known as the “dove trick.” He burns a piece of common paper, and a dove rises phoenix-like from’the ashes. He apparently tears the dove in two, only to find tha| he has two doves in Ms hands.

He throw* a glass of water into the air, and it changes Into a dove and flies away. Not the least enjoyable feature of Reno's performance is the running fire of comment with which he enlivens everything he does. These fragmentary remarks are full of fun and wit. with flash after flash of good tempered satire aimed at himself or his work. He Is a man of fine personality and engaging stage presence, with a keen mentality and an artistic appreciation of the success he has achieved in his profession. In a performance two hours in length he Is able to spring one surprise after another on his audience, keeping bi* audience tn a state of breathless wonder and delight until they forget to note the flight of time.. The fact that many of the** tricks are inventions of his own add* interest to the entertain At the high school auditorium Wed* nesday evening, Nov. 18th.
