“It is entirely new and thoroughly startling. The lovers of the wonderful cannot make a mistake in turning their steps toward the Academy of Music to-night. A large and efficient orchestra has been engaged to add to the pleasures of the evening.”
“The attendance was so great that it was impossible to get within seeing or hearing distance of the great prestidigitator. We are compelled, therefore, to defer our notice of the performance to another occasion.”
Very well attended event, enthusiastically received. Mr. Hermann will perform alternating programs every night of this week and next.
Herrmann’s interesting and entertaining performances fill the Academy with an attentive audience which is receiving his surprising magic tricks with enthusiasm every night. Mr. Herrmann’s program consists of many new, unknown tricks.
No mention of music. Detailed description of several of the illusions.
