"STROUBAIKA. A man is padlocked to a board, placed behind a curtain, a pistol fired and the curtain drawn, when a Lady, securely padlocked to the same board, is found in the place of the man, who upon being asked for, stands up among the audience. The whole is performed in 10 seconds. It should be seen to be believed. And AEROLITHE, or the mystery of the air." "Carl Hertz will be supported by the favourites of the last Xmas Sydney Royal Pantomime viz - Miss Rose Dearing (The charming English soubrette from Drury Lane Theatre, London), Mr. Fred Mason (A clever eccentric comedian from the Empire and Alhambra Theatres, London), and The Fairy Four (Charming dainty skirt dancers, the idols of the Tivoli Theatre, London), will likewise make their first appearance in Newcastle, in a wild farcical absurdity titled "Frivolity"" Change of Programme 4th August to include another "startling illusion, LE COCOON. An Illusion illustrating the Silkworm, the Chrysalis, and the Butterfly. The most beautiful Illusion ever produced in this country." Change of Programme 6th August to include a "new and wonderful illusion, PHOENIX. A living woman burnt to ashes in full view of the audience." |
