Blackstone | To Bring New Magic Show
Veteran Mystifier Arrives |
at Keith's Friday With "1001 Wonders."
By JAMES THRASHER There is one disadvantage in being a magician, You can't break training. At least that is how Blackstone, veteran mystifier, has found it. Blackstone is coming to Keith's Friday with a new show called “1001 Wonders,” and he's working today just as hard as he did on the occasion of his first visit to Indianapoiis many years ago. Blackstone and his brethren have to keep on working—or else. The
|
boxer can have a look at the bright |
lights between fights. The football player can stay up nights or get fat. or do about anything he wants to when the season closes. But the sleight of-hander must keep in condition, week in and week out, as long as he is performing. Puts in Long Hours
" 14 or 15 hours of work almost day,” Blackstone told a of admiring youngsters recently. “You have to be like a coiled spring at all times, every movement swift and dir It takes tion to be that way. “There are no ‘try-overs.’ you start a trick you through with it. Your your body, with your tossed in, have to function gether.” So, apparently of the back-stage profession - of legerdemain. “the whole show,” Blackstone has four or five day. There are no between-show naps or after-theater roistering. For the intervening hours usually are taken up by practicing or experimenting with new tricks, or ing on equipment. Mavbe when Blackstone retires he will be able to solve the ancient and perplexing problems of what to do with dead elephants and old razor blades. For in his new show he does something equally difficult. He makes a horse disappear. Just like that—now vou see it, now vou don't. Lists Names of Tricks

vip-pee-e-e-e and a hot-cha-cha, Ruth Mix rides again! This time she'll be comin’ 'rornd | the mountain hell-for-leather on a | chestnut hoss named Tony Jr., and with her gun tossin’ terror into the |black hearts of all villains of the | range. |
| She'll rescue her Eastern sweet-
heart and they'll ride into the sunset together to live happily ever | after, or until the story department | [can think up some more adventures land vicissitudes. i | Miss Mix, daughter of Tom, is go- | | ing to be a sure-enough Western he- | {roine for a change, and not one of | {your fluttery, frightened leading la- | dies. | She had thought she was all] { washed up with movies because she | was good and tired of wringing her | hands and being rescued, and of try- { (ing to look fragile and helpless.

“The people who hired me,” she | “were just buying Daddy's (name. They paid me good money | for silly parts that a thousand other {women could have done aéceptably and would have done for $50 a week.

And mavbe, bv holding on to some of Dr. Piccard’'s balloons, she would weigh only 120 pounds.
| She's a Juno But this is not to sugge that Miss Mix is not Amazonian. Juno- | esque is a better term. She is no tal{ler or heavier than a musical comedy reals and the truth is that for three seasons she decorated Earl Carroll's “Vanities.” During the last | | season she did a roping-and-singing {act while clad in a fetching little white leather costume suggestive of the great open spaces. | She has jet black hair, brown eves, & nice profile and an engaging grin. [She's a quarter Cherokee Indian and ‘was T years old before she could speak English. Now she speaks it | | better than most Americans, havling attended some very good schools | between summer touvs in vaudeville | and circuses.
