ENTERTAINMENT.

CHEFALO AND PALERMO, MAGICIANS.

SEASON OPENS HERE ON SATURDAY WERK.

ASEASON of Laughter and

Mystery will be commenced at the THEATRE ROYAL, Hongkong, SATURDAY WEEK, January 8th, by two of the World's Greatest Magicians, Chefalo and Palermo, gentlemen and lady, two natives of Italy, who finished their schooling in America, and have been travelling the world for twelve years mystify- ing and delighting millions of people as testified by the wonderful press reports which they have received. For their entertainment here they have selected the best of the work in almost every country in the world and added it to their own extensive inventions, for Chefalo is an inventor as well as a magician, and thus they present an attraction that is nowhere else to be found in the world—hence their universal success. They re- cently concluded a big season in Australia and the Sydney Daily Talegraph wrote of them"More than two hours of mystery, which entertained as well as puzzled, left the audience non-plussed. Original illusions caused no end-of-wonder- ment. Signor Chefalo has an endless repertoire to dispense. The applica tion of the title 'necromancer, thaumaturgo, and magician,' is fully warranted. Signorina Palermo, who is claimed to be the only professional magician, on (the stage, plays a big part towards weaving the web of mysticism. The constant vein of humour introduced through the whole show was to the delight of the audience. It did not take long for Chefalo's personality to spread contagiously in his favour. The 'magic glove” lest plenty of room for hard thinking and was something never before seen on the Sydney stage as well as were most of his other tricks, and Sydney has seen the best of the world's conjurors. The horoscopic ball was responsible for shrieks of laughter in its weird fortune telling. A travesty on spiritualism, another mirth provoker, left the audience in a happy mood. Signorina Falermo makes. the at- mosphere heavier with skilful exhibi- tions of the magic art amid beautiful settings on, the stage while her wardrobe was an eye opener. The display of Spanish dancing, and with Chefalo, the Argentine tango dance, served up an unusually liberal even- Empress of Japening's offering. The logerdomain and magic of Chefalo and Palermo are all original and well worth seeing. Seats for the season here can be booked in advance at Moutries daily, where early application should be
